Chicken Gnocchi Soup Ingredients:
Cooked Shredded Chicken – Use leftovers from my Instant Pot Whole Chicken or make a bunch ahead of time with my easy crockpot shredded chicken!
Potato Gnocchi – We use store bought but you can make your own if you’re feeling ambitious! I used dried gnocchi but you can often find fresh gnocchi in the store too. When the gnocchi floats it is done!
Spinach – Adding some freshly chopped spinach to the chicken gnocchi soup will give it a nice healthy boost! Kale would also work well here.
Carrots, Celery, & Onion – A must in most soup recipes!
Garlic – Along with the celery and onion you’ll saute a bit of garlic for even more of a flavor boost.
Heavy Cream & Milk – Adding these will give it the thick, rich, and creamy consistency that makes chicken gnocchi soup such a popular soup recipe!
Chicken Broth – We recommend a good quality broth or stock for this soup.
Flour – We’re using flour to help thicken the base of the soup.
Salt & Pepper – We use about a teaspoon of each. You can use more or less to taste.
What We Love About This CHICKEN GNOCCHI SOUP Recipe:
This creamy soup is perfect comfort food when you serve it up with some breadsticks!
We’ve made this into an easy vegetarian meal by swapping shredded chicken for chik’n strips or seitan in the past.
It’s so much more economical to make your own pot of soup than it is to get take out. And just as delicious!
How To Make Chicken Gnocchi Soup:
Sauté: Grab your large soup pot and heat up your olive oil along with onions and celery. Stir this while cooking it for two minutes. Stir in the garlic for 30 seconds.
Flour: Sprinkle in flour to the pot and whisk for a minute.
Cream & Broth: Now whisk in the milk, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Whisk this for around 5 minutes.
Chicken & Veggies: Add in your chicken, spinach, carrots, thyme, gnocchi, salt, and pepper then stir.
Simmer: Let this simmer for 10 minutes after which the carrots and gnocchi should be tender. Serving suggestions below!
Serving Gnocchi Soup:
Now that you can buy Olive Garden salad dressing by the bottle, I usually serve this soup with a side salad. Lots of fresh tomatoes, olives, red onions, and crisp lettuce, plus the OG salad dressing. Divine!
This also goes great with my creamy onion garlic bread. It’s literally the best garlic bread in the world, in my humble opinion. 😉
Frozen air fryer breadsticks are also a quick and easy option that goes well with any good soup recipe!
