Creamy Chicken Gnocchi Soup

A comforting dish that combines tender chicken, soft potato gnocchi, and a medley of vegetables in a rich, creamy broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Chicken breast (or thighs), diced
  • 16 ounces Potato gnocchi
  • 2 medium Carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks Celery, diced
  • 2 cups Spinach, fresh
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 4 cups Chicken broth
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and onion is translucent.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and dried thyme, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the diced chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Lower heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  5. Toss in the potato gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes. In the last minute, stir in the fresh spinach until wilted.
  6. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Allow warming through without boiling. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  7. Serve in bowls, garnishing with fresh herbs or Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

For variety, consider adding dill or mushrooms. Can be made dairy-free with coconut milk.
