Chicken and Gnocchi Soup
Description
Chicken and Gnocchi Soup begins by sautéing onion, celery, carrots, garlic, and fresh thyme in butter and olive oil until softened. Flour is incorporated to create a roux before gradually adding chicken broth and half and half, which together form a creamy broth. Cooked chicken is stirred in, and the soup simmers to meld flavors. Prepared gnocchi is added last, cooking until tender, alongside chopped baby spinach which wilts into the soup. The seasoning of salt and pepper is adjusted throughout. The soup offers smooth creaminess with the soft texture of gnocchi and a balance of savory chicken and mild vegetables.
This soup can be served as a warming main dish, ideal for cooler weather or when seeking a filling meal. The gnocchi provides a satisfying bite alongside the tender chicken and vegetables.
