Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken and sauté until lightly golden, approximately 3 minutes.

02

Step

Introduce the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

03

Step

Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release their moisture and become tender, stirring occasionally, approximately 5-10 minutes.

04

Step

Pour in the chicken stock and add 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh tarragon. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Season with sea salt to taste. Cover and allow the soup to simmer gently, allowing the flavors to meld, for about 25 minutes.

05

Step

Stir in the heavy whipping cream and gently heat through, being careful not to boil. Adjust seasoning with more salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the remaining fresh tarragon and a generous grind of black pepper. Serve immediately.

For an even richer flavor, consider browning the chicken in the butter before adding the other ingredients.
A splash of dry sherry or white wine added with the chicken stock can elevate the flavor profile.
Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms to create your own unique flavor combination.
If you don't have fresh tarragon, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon, but fresh is highly recommended for the best flavor.
For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cream.

  • Flossie Reynolds

    I didn't have fresh tarragon, so I used dried, but it wasn't quite the same. Definitely worth using fresh!

  • Euna Tromp

    I used bone broth instead of regular chicken stock for added nutrients and richness.
