This one-pot smoked paprika chicken soup is a main course that's quick and easy to make. It's full of flavor from mushrooms, tender rotisserie chicken and, of course, smoked paprika.
This hearty soup is based on the traditional Hungarian stew-like dish called chicken paprikash. It's made with paprikash's signature ingredients, like chicken, paprika and sour cream, and combines them into a delicious soup.
Ingredients and notes:
Even though this soup is inspired by Hungarian cuisine, I don't use Hungarian paprika but rather (Spanish) smoked paprika for it. I did a side-by-side test of this recipe with the two types of paprika. What I found was that a little bit of smokiness really enhances the flavors of this soup. It also works very well with the mushrooms and the chicken.
You can use hot smoked paprika or mild (sweet) smoked paprika for this soup.
