This creamy chicken gnocchi soup is the ultimate comfort food dinner, featuring tender chicken, pillowy gnocchi, and a velvety broth perfect for chilly evenings or soothing meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover roast chicken)
  • 16 ounces store-bought potato gnocchi
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Shred the chicken, dice celery and carrots, and mince the garlic. Set aside the spinach for later.
  2. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic, celery, and carrots, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir until no dry flour remains. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste.
  4. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add the gnocchi to the pot and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until they float to the top.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
  7. Add spinach and shredded chicken. Stir until the spinach wilts and the chicken warms through.
  8. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and enjoy warm!

Notes

[‘Use fresh ingredients like garlic and veggies for the best flavor.’, ‘Don’t overcook the gnocchi; they’re ready as soon as they float to the surface.’, ‘Taste and season gradually to avoid over-salting.’, “If the soup is too thick, add a splash of broth or water. If it’s too thin, simmer it longer to thicken.”, ‘Prep veggies and shred chicken ahead of time to save cooking time.’]
