Ingredients

Scale

Soup Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Finishing Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups gnocchi
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Cook Base: Place the chicken breasts, chicken broth, diced onion, minced garlic, and salt into the Crockpot. Set to cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, allowing flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
  2. Shred Chicken and Add Gnocchi: Once cooking time is complete, shred the chicken breasts directly in the Crockpot using two forks.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the gnocchi, chopped spinach, and heavy cream gently to combine all the flavors.
  4. Cook Until Gnocchi is Tender: Continue cooking on low for an additional 20-30 minutes until the gnocchi is tender and the soup is heated through, stirring occasionally.
  5. Serve: Serve the soup hot, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

  • Gnocchi can be substituted with small pasta like mini shell or orzo if desired.
  • For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of chicken broth or add a tablespoon of flour to the cream before stirring in.
  • Fresh spinach is preferred for best texture; frozen spinach can be used but drain excess moisture.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently to avoid gnocchi becoming mushy.
