Chicken Gnocchi Soup Recipe
Description
This soup begins by sautéing carrots, broccoli, and garlic in olive oil to soften the vegetables and release their flavors. Adding hot water and chicken bouillon cubes creates the flavorful broth base. Chopped cooked chicken is added for protein.
Potato gnocchi is introduced next, cooking until they float, indicating doneness. Spinach is stirred in for freshness and nutrients. Half and half, thyme, nutmeg, sugar, and butter enrich and deepen the soup’s flavor and body.
A slurry made from cold water and cornstarch is whisked in to thicken the broth as it reaches a boil. Seasoning with salt and black pepper finishes the dish. The result is a creamy, nourishing soup with tender gnocchi and vegetables.
