Many people believe that soups are hard to make or are not nutritious. In reality, they are easy to make and extremely nourishing.

Here is a tasty creamy mushroom and chicken soup that you’ve got to try out:

Ingredients:

4 pre-cooked, skinless chicken breasts, chopped into chunks

500 g diced white mushrooms
1 garlic clove, crushed
¼ cup flour

3. Once the chicken starts to brown, remove the ingredients from the pan and put in a pot with two cups of water.

5. After ten minutes, slowly add the cream to the broth and stir.

6. After five minutes, slowly stir in the flour to thicken the soup.

7. Bring to the boil and serve with freshly chopped parsley on top.
