Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter or ghee
• 1 cup diced onion ((120 grams))
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 pounds cremini/baby bella mushrooms, sliced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon marjoram
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
• 2 cups chicken broth ((I used low sodium))
• 1 13.5-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons tapioca flour
• 4 cups shredded chicken ((1 pound))
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• salt and pepper, to taste
• for topping: fresh parsley, parmesan cheese, green onions...

Instructions

1. Cook mushrooms. Heat up a large dutch oven or stock pot over medium to medium-low heat and let it get hot. Add butter and let it melt. Add onions, garlic, salt, and pepper and saute until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add mushrooms, mix to combine, and saute for 3-4 minutes. Then add in your dried herbs and a little salt and pepper and mix to combine again. Saute for another 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized.
2. Make your broth. Once mushrooms are softened, remove 1 heaping cup and add to a blender. Pour your chicken broth into the pan, mix to combine, and turn down the heat to low. To the blender, add your coconut milk. Blend for 30-60 seconds until mushrooms are broken down and well combined.
3. Thicken the broth. To a measuring cup (I used the same one I measure my broth in), add about 1/4-1/2 cup of your coconut and mushroom broth and tapioca flour. Whisk to combine until no lump remain. This will help thicken the soup.
4. Let simmer. Pour in both your mushroom broths (from the blender and measuring cup) and mix well to combine. Add your shredded chicken and stir to combine. Simmer on low for 5-6 minutes until thickened. Stir in lemon juice.
5. Enjoy! Top with optional toppings and enjoy!
