Chicken Gnocchi Soup! You can make it better than Olive Garden😉 It’s so simple to make, and sooo good! * Olive oil * 2 chicken breasts (2 tsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic salt, 1 tsp pepper) * 4 tbsp butter * 2 celery stalks * 1-2 whole carrots * 1 small to medium onion (or 1/2 of a large) * 4 garlic cloves * 2 tsp Italian seasoning * 1/2 tsp thyme * 2 tablespoons flour * 4 cups chicken broth (32 oz container) * 1 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon * 2 cups half and half (1 PT) * 16 oz gnocchi * few handfuls of roughly chopped spinach * Parm for topping (optional) Start by cutting all your veggies and set aside. In a bowl, mix your chicken breast with some olive oil, paprika, garlic salt, and pepper. In a pot, sear the chicken breast in some olive oil on medium heat on each side for a couple minutes. Take them out and set them aside. Melt your butter in the pot and add the onion, celery, and carrots. Stir, and cook for 5 minutes. Get all the flavor leftover from searing the chicken. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, and thyme. Cook for 5 more minutes, then add the flour and stir. After about two minutes, add the chicken broth and chicken bouillon and stir. Once it comes to a boil, turn to medium low heat, place the chicken back in, cover, and let cook for 15 minutes. Take the chicken back out and shred or chop. While the chicken is out of the pot, add the half-and-half. Once it comes to a boil (gentle boil, not too aggressive), add in your gnocchi and boil for 5 minutes, covered. Turn heat off and add your chicken back in and the spinach. If it’s too thick for your liking, add a little milk. Top with some parm! #easyrecipes #cookwithme #olivegarden #chickengnocchisoup #soupseason #cozyrecipes
