This hearty soup is not only incredibly delicious but also simple to make. With just a few ingredients, you can transform your weeknight dinner into something truly special.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 16 ounces potato gnocchi
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups spinach
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Next, add the chicken breast to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and let cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
- Add the potato gnocchi and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the gnocchi float to the top, which means they’re done.
- Stir in the heavy cream and spinach, cooking until the spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
