Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make your Creamy Garlic Chicken Gnocchi Soup:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lb potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Chicken and Vegetables:

  1. Sauté the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add the garlic, onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Build the Soup Base:

  1. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  2. Cook the Gnocchi: Add the gnocchi to the pot and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes, until they float to the top.

Finish the Soup:

  1. Stir in Spinach: Add the chopped spinach and cooked chicken back into the pot. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  2. Incorporate Cream and Cheese: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Let the soup simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the cheese melts and the broth thickens slightly.

Serve and Enjoy:

  1. Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
