Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot or dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add Broth and Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, dried thyme, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  3. Simmer the Soup: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Combine Chicken and Peas: Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and frozen peas to the pot. Stir to combine.
  5. Cook Gnocchi: Gently stir in the gnocchi and let the soup continue to simmer for another 3-4 minutes, or until the gnocchi is cooked and floats to the top.
  6. Add Spinach and Cream: Stir in the fresh spinach and heavy cream. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the soup is heated through.
  7. Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls and, if desired, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy!
