Instructions
Creating your own Creamy Chicken Gnocchi Soup is simple. Follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Sauté the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the pot and sauté until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.
4. Cook the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, around 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
5. Season: Sprinkle the thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Stir well to combine.
6. Add Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
7. Add Cream and Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the pot, then stir in the heavy cream. Allow it to heat through for a few minutes.
8. Cook the Gnocchi: Add the gnocchi to the soup, cooking according to package instructions (usually about 2-3 minutes).
9. Add Spinach: Stir in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt in the pot for 1-2 minutes.
10. Finish and Serve: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.
