There is nothing quite like a big bowl of creamy soup to make your home feel inviting. This recipe is a favorite because it comes together so quickly and tastes just like the version from your favorite restaurant.

My best tip is to use fresh baby spinach and add it right at the end so it keeps a bright green color. If you like extra flavor, a little squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving really brightens everything up.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced carrots
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 pound potato gnocchi
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2
Add the onion and carrots to the pot and cook until they are soft, which should take about five minutes.
3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until it is fragrant.
4
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the liquid to a gentle boil.
5
Add the potato gnocchi to the pot and cook for about three to four minutes until they float to the top.
6
Stir in the shredded chicken, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
7
Add the fresh spinach and stir until the leaves are wilted.
8
Serve the soup while it is hot.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. When you reheat the soup, add a splash of broth or water because the gnocchi will soak up some of the liquid while sitting. Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
