A comforting and hearty soup featuring tender chicken, chewy gnocchi, and vibrant vegetables in a creamy broth.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 16 ounces potato gnocchi

Instructions

  1. Sear the chicken by heating olive oil over medium-high heat in a slow cooker. Add the chicken breast and sear on both sides until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes each side).
  2. Remove the chicken and add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the slow cooker. Sauté until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Return the chicken to the slow cooker. Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  6. Carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  7. Stir in the potato gnocchi and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the gnocchi are tender.
  8. Add the fresh spinach just before serving, stirring until wilted.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm with crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. If you prefer a thicker soup, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a bit of cold water before adding it to the slow cooker.
