Creamy Chicken Gnocchi Soup Recipe Tips
- CHICKEN: I prefer to use boneless, skinless chicken breast for this soup. But you can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
- TIME SAVER TIP! Use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.
- CREAM: Use half + half cream OR whole milk. If you want a really rich soup, use heavy cream, or a mixture of heavy cream and milk.
- GNOCCHI: Use potato gnocchi. We prefer plain gnocchi, but I have also used cheese filled gnocchi and it’s tasty too! You will need about 2 cups (16 ounces).
- BROTH: I like to use chicken broth (I love the Chicken Better than Bouillon) for this soup.
- OPTIONAL ADDITIONS: Feel free to add 1/2 cup frozen peas, or 1 cup fresh spinach at the end…stir them in once the soup is done, and let simmer for a few minutes.
- LEFTOVERS: Leftovers keep beautifully in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop. You will notice that the leftovers will be quite thick but they will loosen up when warmed. If it’s too thick, you an always stir in more broth or even a little water.
