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 sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (16 ounce) package potato gnocchi
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned on all sides. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth. Add the Italian seasoning, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package directions, usually about 3 to 5 minutes, until the gnocchi float.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the cheese melts and the broth is smooth. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  7. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the soup.
  8. Serve the creamy gnocchi soup immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute half of the chicken broth with half-and-half.
  • If you prefer shredded chicken, cook the chicken breasts whole in the broth until done, then shred them before returning them to the soup.
  • You can use store-bought pesto to stir in during the last step for extra flavor depth.
