Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  2. ½ teaspoon dried tarragon
  3. ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  4. 1 bunch green onions, lighter half chopped thin and darker green half discarded
  5. 2 pinches salt
  6. 2 cups chopped button mushrooms
  7. 1 cup chopped rotisserie chicken
  8. ¼ cup flour
  9. 3 cubes beef bouillon
  10. 3 ½ cups hot water
  11. 1 cup sour cream
  12. 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
  13. 1 cup cold milk
  14. 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  15. ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper hot sauce
  16. salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir the tarragon, nutmeg, green onions, and 2 pinches of salt into the melted butter; cook and stir until the green onions are softened, about 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms, stir to coat, and continue cooking until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes more. Fold the chicken into the mixture and cook together until the chicken gets hot, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture; stir until completely absorbed into the mixture, 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Dissolve the beef bouillon cubes in the hot water; pour into the chicken mixture about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring to dissolve any clumps of flour between batches. Increase heat to bring the mixture to a boil; return heat to medium. Stir the sour cream into the mixture until well integrated.
  3. Dissolve the cornstarch into the cold milk; stir into the soup. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the soup until it begins to bubble on the sides, but not boiling; again return heat to medium, stirring continually. Add the lemon juice, cayenne pepper sauce, salt, and pepper; stir. Serve hot.

Wow! What a great easy recipe if you have leftovers of a costco chicken! So easy. I didn’t have the spice so I substituted oregano! Fine. I added green onions during and at the end. Couldn’t find starch, so I usually use Cream of wheat cereal to thicken soup. You can’t tell, and it’s better for you! I had a llittle wine left, I put that in along with the lemon, and OH! I added frozen peas. It was wonderful! The resto fo the ingredients we used, like mushrooms, etc. Excellent cool weather dinner.

I substituted low sodium chicken broth for the beef bouillion and water. We had it for dinner with a baked loaf of bread and a salad. Awesome!
Stacey Rivera
Simple and amazing…subbed cardamom for nutmeg and heavy whipping cream for milk (needed to use it up) and the result was creamy and sophisticated.
Stanley Smith
Delicious! I used homemade chicken stock instead of beef, eliminated sour cream and cornstarch
Daniel Doyle
Very flavorful! I added truffle salt when I was sauteing the mushrooms and it brought out the flavor of the mushrooms. I also used a bullion stock base because I don’t use cubes, I think it adds more flavor. I will definitely make this again.
Craig Stanton
The only change I made was adding a few more mushrooms. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly as written. The soup was a huge hit with the family and I will definitely make it again.
Elizabeth Barron
I made this almost exactly as written. I forgot to buy green onion so I used white onion instead. This soup is creamy and delicious without the need to blend in a food processor. I used pulled smoked chicken from the deli. I will be making this again!
Monica Clark
This soup was great! Used a bit less taragon. Wasn’t sure I would like it as not keen on tarragon. It was tasty and next time I would use amt. of taragon in recipe. I expected it to need salt at the table as there wasn’t much in the recipe but found it didn’t need more for most of us.
Andrew Cunningham
This soup went together pretty quickly. I had roasted a chicken the day before, so I used that instead of store bought rotisserie chicken. Also didn’t have tarragon, so i substituted sage. I also added some garlic powder. Very nice satisfying soup. Will make it again.
Earl Myers
It was very good, however I left the nutmeg out because I’m just not a fan of it except in baked goods. Otherwise I followed the recipe, but did add more mushrooms because we are partial to them.
Tyrone Thomas
Not a fan. The lemon juice did not complement this recipe at all. It called for way too much sour cream. Between the lemon and sour cream it has a strange tang. No one in my family will eat it. Trying to save it now so it doesn’t go to waste…
Brenda Richards
Rich with lots of flavor. Easy to make. I bought local grocery fried chicken (remove all the skin and breading) and that makes it easy. Worked very well. Substituted lo fat sour cream and milk…..recipe is high in total and sat. fat. Great soup!
Sharon Randolph
Very good. I would however leave the nutmeg out next time, because I don’t like it. I could still taste it. But otherwise very good.
Randall Oneal
It was OK. We’ll eat it, but, not sure I will prepare again.
Stacey Smith
very good. we made some modifications, and turned it into a slowcooker recipe. we used almond milk and no sour cream. we also used two thawed chicken breasts, tripled the amount of tarragon, and threw in a pack of frozen spinach. also, we used two cans of chicken broth instead of the beef bouillon and water. cooked on low for 6 hrs.
Samuel Perez
Very good! I used left-over roast chicken instead of rotisserie, but otherwise followed exactly. Love tarragon, but think it could use a little less, and a few more mushrooms. Needs a deep skillet!
Sarah Duffy
Loved it! I had no green onions or tarragon, and used white onion instead. The taste would have been better with the green! Otherwise, I kept everything to a tee. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
