Chicken Gnocchi Soup
Chicken Gnocchi Soup is a warm and hearty comfort meal that will wrap you up in a blanket of creamy goodness
Equipment
- dutch oven or large soup pot
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup onion (finely diced)
- 1/2 cup celery (finely diced )
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 quart half & half
- 28 ounces chicken broth
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 cup carrots (finely shredded )
- 1 cup baby spinach (chopped)
- 1 cup chicken breast (cooked & diced )
- 16 ounces potato gnocchi (ready-to-use package)
Instructions
- In a large dutch oven or soup pot, melt the butter and olive oil over a medium heat.
- Next, add the garlic, onion, and celery. Stir that together and let it simmer for a few minutes, or until the onion starts to become translucent.
- Once cooked down, add the flour to the mixture. Whisk that into the butter and aromatics for about a minute.
- Next, add the half and half. Continue to whisk that together occasionally and let it simmer until the sauce becomes thick. Once thick, add in the chicken broth and keep whisking. Let that simmer until it becomes thick again.
- Add all the spices; salt, thyme, parsley, & nutmeg (optional) and combine. Lastly add the shredded carrots, spinach, chicken and gnocchi. Stir everything together until combined.
- Allow the soup to simmer on the stove until everything is heated through completely. Once hot, scoop out portions and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
Storage - You can store the leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. You can also store it in the freezer for up to 3 months.
If you have some extra broth or cream, I recommend adding a splash of each to the soup when you reheat, because the gnocchi will have absorbed some of the liquid overnight.
