Chicken Gnocchi Soup
Description
Chicken Gnocchi Soup combines chunks of cooked chicken and soft gnocchi in a creamy broth made with chicken stock, half and half, and vegetables. The base starts with butter sautéed onions and celery, seasoned and thickened with flour and garlic to create a rich foundation.
Shredded carrots and Italian seasoning contribute subtle sweetness and aromatic depth. Baby spinach is stirred in at the end, wilting gently to preserve its tender texture and fresh flavor. The soup simmers until thickened, delivering a comforting and smooth consistency with hearty bites from the gnocchi and chicken.
This soup can be served as a main course with crusty bread or a side salad. The production steps focus on gradual development of flavor and ensuring the gnocchi cook just until tender without becoming mushy.
