A comforting and creamy soup with tender chicken, soft gnocchi, and vegetables in a flavorful broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 (16 ounce) package potato gnocchi
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, add the dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the vegetables to tenderize.
  6. Return the browned chicken to the pot.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream and the gnocchi. Increase heat to medium and cook until the gnocchi float to the surface and are tender, about 3-5 minutes.
  8. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking chicken breasts.
  • If you don’t have gnocchi, you can substitute with small pasta shapes.
  • Adjust seasoning to your preference.
