Creamy Chicken Gnocchi Soup Easy and Cozy Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 sticks celery, diced
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 pound potato gnocchi
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• to taste salt and pepper
• for garnish fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and diced celery. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
3. Add the diced chicken to the pot, seasoning it with salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
4. Pour in the chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, add the gnocchi and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the gnocchi float to the top.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and fresh spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt for about 2 minutes. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
6. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes, which will thicken the soup slightly before serving.
7. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.
