This easy healthy chicken and mushroom soup recipe is hearty and flavorful. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken and comes together in just over 30 minutes.

How to make chicken and mushroom soup

Sauté the onion until softened in a large soup pot.
Add the mushrooms and garlic to the pot and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the carrots, seasoning, and liquids to the pot and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, add the pasta and chicken. Cook for 10 minutes or until the pasta is done and the broth has thickened a bit.
Stir in the half-and-half and season with salt & pepper as needed. Warm through.

Pro tip: I used crimini (or cremini, depending on what you read!) mushrooms, but as always, feel free to sub your favorite mushrooms or whatever you have on hand.

Portobello mushrooms would give this soup an even richer taste. White mushrooms would work too.

I used half-and-half in this mushroom and chicken soup to give it a touch of creaminess. You could use heavy cream if you wanted an even creamier feel, but I was going for something satisfying yet still light.

We've got plenty of goodies in here like sweet carrots, hearty pasta, and onions. It all melts in your mouth.

This quick meal will warm you right up!
