Ingredients
Scale
Soup Base
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6–8 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a GF option)
- 2 teaspoons “On Everything All-Purpose Blend” (or garlic powder, oregano, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Broth & Cream
- 5 cups organic chicken stock/broth (or vegetable broth for vegan)
- 1 ½ cups organic heavy cream (or full-fat coconut cream for vegan)
Main Ingredients
- 1 (16 oz) package of potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breasts
- 2 cups organic kale, de-stemmed and chopped (or spinach or other greens)
- 1 cup freshly-grated Parmesan cheese (or vegan cheese for vegan option)
Instructions
- Prepare the Soup Base: In a medium-sized Dutch oven or pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the flour and the “On Everything All-Purpose Blend” with salt, cooking for another minute to create a flavorful roux.
- Add Broth and Cream: Slowly pour in the chicken stock while continuously stirring to avoid lumps. Once the mixture thickens, add the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer, forming the creamy soup base.
- Cook the Gnocchi and Chicken: Add the chopped kale, shredded cooked chicken, and potato gnocchi to the pot. Stir well to combine and let the soup simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the gnocchi floats to the top and is tender.
- Add Cheese: Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the soup becomes creamy. Allow it to simmer for another 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Serve: Remove the soup from heat and serve immediately. Pair with a side of crusty bread or a fresh salad for a complete, hearty meal.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend.
- To make it vegan, replace chicken broth with vegetable broth, use full-fat coconut cream, omit chicken, and use vegan cheese.
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is recommended for best melting and flavor.
- Gnocchi can be store-bought or homemade depending on preference.
- Adjust garlic amount to taste for more or less intensity.
