Description
A creamy and flavorful Tuscan chicken gnocchi soup that is perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 package (16 ounces) potato gnocchi
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic, oregano, and basil, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and bring the soup back to a gentle simmer. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the gnocchi is cooked, add the cooked chicken back into the pot along with the fresh spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for a bright flavor boost.
