Ingredients
- 1 head of garlic, for roasting
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound chicken breast, diced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced

- 6 cups chicken broth

Instructions
- Roast Garlic (40 minutes): Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast until golden and soft.

- Add Chicken and Cheese (5 minutes): Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
- Serve (5 minutes): Garnish with fresh parsley and additional cheese if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
For an extra flavor punch, consider adding a dash of nutmeg or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the soup. Adjusting the cheese ratio lets you play with the creaminess and flavor depth of your soup. A crunchy, garlicky baguette on the side or a fresh green salad can elevate the meal by adding different textures and freshness. A glass of your favorite white wine or a light, crisp beer can complement the richness of the dish wonderfully. Enjoy your meal!
