For all you fans of chicken gnocchi soup, I have a delicious recipe for you. Better than Olive Garden because it has just the right amount of seasonings which I found Olive Garden lacked. Gnocchi is little potato dumplings and can be purchased in the frozen section of your grocery store.



Recipe for Chicken Gnocchi Soup


Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups chopped yellow onion
1 1/2 cups diced carrot
1 1/2 cups diced celery
1-2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic
5 cups chicken broth
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme
Kosher Salt & Pepper
1 lb boneless chicken breast (you can also substitute with cooked rotisserie chicken)
1 (10 -16oz) package potato gnocchi or cauliflower gnocchi
5 tbsp butter
6 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1/3 cups heavy whipping cream
2 cups fresh spinach
Shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese, for garnish


Step 1: Place chicken breasts in a pot. Add enough water to cover the chicken breasts by 2". Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minute for until juices run clear and the chicken shows no pink. When finished cooking, keep your broth! It will be used in Step 2. After chicken has cooled a bit, shred it using 2 forks and set aside.


Step 2:Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced carrots, celery and onion and saute until onions are translucent and vegetables are starting to soften. Once veggies have started to soften (about 6-8 minutes) add diced garlic and saute for an additional 1-2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, season with salt (2 healthy pinches of Kosher salt) and pepper to taste. Add in shredded chicken.


Step 3: Melt 5 tablespoons of butter into large pot over medium heat. Add flour, stirring constantly, cooking until flour just starts to brown.

While whisking, pour in milk, continuing to stir ensuring there are no lumps. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.

After mixture starts to thicken and lightly boils, add in heavy whipping cream. Remove from heat.


Step 4: Pour the gravy mixture in with the veggies, broth and chicken. Add gnocchi's and cook for the amount of time stated on the package. Add your spinach, stir it into the soup.

Ladle into a soup bowl and serve with a garnish of Parmesan Cheese. Yum!
