Chicken Gnocchi Soup
Description
This Chicken Gnocchi Soup starts by sautéing diced onions, celery, and shredded carrots in olive oil until the onions become translucent. Seasoning with salt, black pepper, and thyme builds depth. Minced garlic is added briefly for fragrance before incorporating cooked diced chicken and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a boil.
Potato gnocchi are stirred in and simmered to cook through, adding a soft, pillowy texture to the soup. The addition of half and half creates a creamy consistency without heavy cream, while fresh spinach is stirred in at the end to wilt gently. The soup is ready to serve once all ingredients are heated through and the flavors meld.
This soup works well as a warming meal for cooler days, offering protein from the chicken and comforting starch from the gnocchi. The fresh spinach adds a touch of brightness and color, balancing the richness of the broth.
