Creamy Chicken Gnocchi Soup has a thick and rich broth with shredded carrots, celery, chopped spinach and gnocchi hidden throughout. This tastes even better than the Olive Garden!
Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup onion diced
1/2 cup celery diced
2 garlic cloves minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups half-and-half
1 14 ounce can chicken broth for a thinner soup use 2 cans
1 Tablespoon fresh thyme
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup fresh spinach leaves chopped
1 cup diced cooked chicken breast I used rotisserie
1 16 ounce package potato gnocchi on the pasta aisle*
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large pot add butter and olive oil. Over medium high heat sauté onion, celery and garlic until tender. Add the flour to create a roux and cook for another minute.
Slowly add the half and half and chicken broth and stir until it starts to thicken. Add the thyme, carrots, spinach, chicken and gnocchi. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until gnocchi is cooked and soup is thickened. (If you want a thinner soup add another can of chicken broth.) Salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
* You can substitute pasta for the gnocchi, or make your own:
How to Make Gnocchi:
Gnocchi is made from potatoes, flour, and eggs. It seems like an odd combination I would have never thought of, but I am so happy someone did! Although it does take time to make from scratch, making gnocchi can be so fun!
If you are hoping to try it from scratch here is the breakdown:
Boil Potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Peel potatoes and add to pot. Once cooked, scoop out inside.
Combine: 1 cup mashed potato, flour and egg in a large bowl. Knead until dough forms a ball.
Cook Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Drop in gnocchi and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until gnocchi have risen to the top; drain and serve.
