Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1 ½ tbsp olive oil (divided)
12 oz skinless boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
Kosher salt and ground pepper (to taste)
1 large red onion (chopped)
2-3 celery stalks (chopped)
3 medium carrots (peeled and chopped)
1 tbsp fresh rosemary (chopped)
1 tbsp fresh thyme (chopped)
5 cups unsalted chicken stock
8 oz fresh gnocchi

Method

Heat half of the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add in the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, then stir and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes more, until nicely browned. Set aside on a plate, and cover to keep warm.
Add remaining oil to the pot and sauté the onions, celery, carrots and chopped herbs, stirring occasionally.
Once the veggies are tender, add the chicken stock and bring to a boil, stirring all the way through the bottom of the pot to remove any brown bits. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Return the chicken and stir in the fresh gnocchi. Allow the gnocchi to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they start to float to the surface.
Season with salt and pepper to your taste.

Notes

– To ensure your chicken gnocchi soup is perfectly cooked, make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before adding the gnocchi. Overcooked chicken can become tough.
– If you find your soup isn’t thickening enough, you can whisk in a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with a little cold water before adding the almond milk mixture. This helps achieve a creamier consistency.
– This chicken gnocchi soup stores wonderfully! Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of chicken stock or almond milk if it’s too thick.
