Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to foam.

Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove and set aside.

Stir in the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and add the shredded chicken, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let it cook for 10 minutes for the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually 8-10 minutes, until tender.

Stir in the sautéed mushrooms and heavy cream. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
