This Chicken Gnocchi Soup follows a recipe simliar to chicken noodle, but why not add some gnocci to it instead of noodles? It’s amazing the first night – but even better the second night!

Chicken Gnocchi soup is an amazing winter soup to make together. this is an absolute must to make during the cold weather months!

This goes without saying but gnocchi is easily my favorite “pasta” I use the term pasta loosely since its mostly potato but hey – close enough.

I love eating it with sauce, or turning it to a mac and cheese, and tossed in a soup is really something worth trying.

I started with a recipe that I used for my chicken and dumplings– if you like it creamy, add flour in the beginning to max a roux and it will thicken up as it cools.

I also put my gnocchi in during the end, and havent ventured into adding it in and letting it cook with the soup for the full cook.

I’m really sure how that’d turn out, maybe I’ll try it as an experiment and update this post though!

Think of this chicken gnocchi soup as the lazy mans chicken and dumplings.

And its made in a dutch oven so you can place the soup in the oven at a low temp and just let it sit all day and really just melt together if you want!

It has so much flavor, without the mess of making dumplings.

But oh my goodness is it just as good!

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp flour
