Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts – diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 (16 oz) package fresh gnocchi
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup carrots – diced
  • 1 cup celery – diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper – to taste
  • Fresh parsley – for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by washing and dicing the chicken, carrots, and celery to have everything ready to go.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Mix in the diced carrots and celery, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the fresh gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently until everything is combined and heated through.
  6. Stir in the baby spinach until just wilted. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy your culinary masterpiece!

Notes

You can modify the ingredients by adding other vegetables like peas or mushrooms. Leftover rotisserie chicken can be used to save time. For a thicker soup, add a small spoonful of flour before adding the broth. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of broth or water.
