A hearty and comforting soup featuring tender shredded chicken, soft gnocchi, and fresh spinach in a flavorful broth, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breast
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 16 ounces gnocchi
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Cook the chicken: Add the chicken breast, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
  4. Shred the chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot. Shred it using two forks and return it to the soup.
  5. Cook the gnocchi: Stir in the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, typically about 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface.
  6. Add spinach and cream: Finally, stir in the spinach and heavy cream. Heat through until the spinach is wilted and the soup is warmed, about 2 minutes.
  7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy hot!

Notes

For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk. You can also use rotisserie chicken to save time.
