Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 large carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 (16 oz) package potato gnocchi
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup cream
- grated parmesan cheese, optional for serving
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot or dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add Broth and Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, dried thyme, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Simmer the Soup: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Combine Chicken and Peas: Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and frozen peas to the pot. Stir to combine.
- Cook Gnocchi: Gently stir in the gnocchi and let the soup continue to simmer for another 3-4 minutes, or until the gnocchi is cooked and floats to the top.
- Add Spinach and Cream: Stir in the fresh spinach and heavy cream. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the soup is heated through.
- Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls and, if desired, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy!
