Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 medium carrots (sliced into thin rounds)
- 2 stalks celery (sliced)
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 16 ounces potato gnocchi
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pot and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
While the soup is heating, shred the cooked chicken using two forks. Add the shredded chicken back into the pot.
Add the potato gnocchi to the soup and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the gnocchi float to the surface and are tender.
Stir in the baby spinach and allow it to wilt, about 1-2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the soup is creamy and well combined.
Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers.
