Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Chicken Gnocchi Soup Delight.
Step 1
Begin by heating a generous amount of butter and olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
Step 2
Once melted, toss in the diced zucchini, celery, onion, red bell pepper, shredded carrots, and minced garlic.
Step 3
Stir occasionally, allowing the vegetables to soften and meld together for about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 4
Next, sprinkle flour over the sautรฉed vegetables, stirring until they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes to ensure the flour loses its raw taste.
Step 6
Gradually introduce chicken broth, stirring continuously to blend the flour mixture until the soup becomes thick and smooth, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 7
Then, pour in both types of half-and-half, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 8
Let it cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the soup to thicken slightly.
Step 9
Now, gently fold in the shredded chicken, gnocchi, and torn spinach.
Step 10
Season your creation with thyme, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste.
Step 11
If the soup feels too thick, simply add more chicken broth until you achieve your desired consistency.
Step 12
Enjoy the comforting warmth of this delightful soup, perfect for any occasion.
