Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup onion diced
- 1 cup carrot sliced
- 1 cup celery sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 16 ounces store-bought gnocchi see note
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch Oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic. Cook until vegetables soften, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in the chicken broth, salt, thyme, basil and oregano. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Add in the shredded chicken and gnocchi then continue to simmer for 10 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream then add the spinach and cook another 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted and tender then serve.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in a pot on the stove until warmed through. You can freeze for up to three months but the consistency of the dairy may change slightly after being thawed.
- This recipe is great for using up leftover rotisserie chicken, but if you don’t have any and want to make this yummy soup just cook and cube 2-3 chicken breasts instead.
- Use store bought gnocchi or try your hand at making your own! You can use fresh, frozen or dried gnocchi. Dried might take a little longer to cook and frozen should be added directly into the soup, not thawed beforehand.
- Why isn’t my soup thickening? Chicken gnocchi soup is a creamy soup but it is not thick like chowder and does not have any thickening agents.
