Ingredients
  

Soup Base
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
  • 4 cups chicken broth Ensure Halal certification
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pound gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté these vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
  2. Stir in the diced chicken breast and cook until it begins to brown slightly, approximately 5 minutes.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
  4. Add the gnocchi to the pot, and cook for about 3-5 minutes until they float to the top, which indicates they are done.
  5. If you’re using spinach, toss it in just before removing the pot from heat, allowing it to wilt lightly.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and enjoy the delightful flavors with your loved ones.

Notes

For optimal freshness, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Alternatively, freeze the soup without the gnocchi for up to 3 months. Reheat slowly on low heat, adding a splash of broth or cream as needed.
