Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (42.4 grams)
- 3 celery stalks, trimmed and diced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (40 grams)
- 4 cups chicken broth (907 grams)
- 2 cups half and half (454 grams)
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (453.6 grams)
- 16 ounces potato gnocchi (453.6 grams)
Instructions
- Melt the unsalted butter in a large soup pot over medium heat.
- Add the diced celery, carrots, and yellow onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir thoroughly until the flour is incorporated into the butter and vegetables.
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring continuously. Add the half and half and stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add the boneless skinless chicken breasts to the soup. Cook until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the pot and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
- Return the chicken to the soup and add the potato gnocchi.
- Cook until the gnocchi is tender, stirring gently.
- Serve the Chicken Gnocchi Soup warm.
Notes
- Stir the flour thoroughly into the butter and vegetables before adding the liquids to help create a smooth broth.
- Add the gnocchi toward the end of cooking and cook only until tender to help maintain its texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently, as the gnocchi can become softer after sitting in the soup.
