Steps

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat, then cook the onion, carrots, mushrooms, and garlic for 6 minutes.
Add the broth, chicken, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper, then simmer for 18 to 22 minutes until the chicken reaches 165 F.
Transfer the chicken to a plate, shred it when cool enough to handle, and keep the broth in the pot.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, whisk in the flour, and cook for 1 minute.
Whisk in the milk, simmer for 4 to 5 minutes until thickened, and stir the mixture into the soup.
