Cream of mushroom soup with chicken

Mushroom and chicken soup is a comforting and nutritious dish that combines the softness and earthy flavor of mushrooms with the lean protein of chicken. This soup is very popular in various cuisines around the world due to its versatility and ease of preparation.

The main ingredient, mushrooms, are edible fungi cultivated in many regions, although their origin dates back to Europe and North America. They are known for their delicate texture and umami flavor, which adds depth to soups and stews. Chicken is one of the most consumed white meats globally, originating from Southeast Asian regions, and is valued for its protein content and low fat.

Among its notable properties, this soup provides high-quality protein thanks to the chicken, B-complex vitamins, vitamin D, and minerals such as selenium and potassium from the mushrooms. Additionally, it is a low-calorie source and easy to digest, ideal for balanced diets and times when a light but satisfying meal is sought.

Regarding synonyms in Spanish for "champiñones" in different Hispanic American regions, they are also called hongos, setas (although this term may refer to other types of fungi), or simply fungi in more technical language. The combination with chicken in the soup can be found under similar names such as "creamy chicken with mushrooms" or "chicken broth with mushrooms" in different regional recipes.

This soup is ideal as a first course in family menus or to incorporate into healthy diets thanks to its balance of flavor and nutrients.
