A rich and creamy soup with tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and pillowy gnocchi, perfect for busy weeknights or chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • 1 package (16 oz) potato gnocchi
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen)
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced finely
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  3. Stir in the carrots and celery, cooking for another 5 minutes to soften slightly.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stirring well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
  5. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking to avoid lumps.
  6. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  7. Add the shredded chicken, gnocchi, and seasonings (thyme, basil, salt, and pepper). Simmer for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  9. Fold in the chopped spinach and cook for 2 minutes until wilted.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving warm.

Notes

[‘Use fresh gnocchi for better texture.’, ‘Don’t overcook the gnocchi to avoid mushiness.’, ‘Thicken the soup to your liking by adding more flour or reducing broth.’, ‘Prep vegetables and chicken ahead of time to save cooking time.’, ‘If the soup separates, whisk vigorously or add a spoonful of cream cheese.’]
