Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 2 celery ribs, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 quarts chicken broth
- 1 lb. DeLallo Mini Potato Gnocchi
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: Place a soup pot over medium heat and coat it with the olive oil. Add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, approximately 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, bay leaves, and thyme sprigs, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to release their flavors.
- Add Broth and Gnocchi: Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, add the mini potato gnocchi and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes until the gnocchi are tender and cooked through.
- Incorporate Chicken and Season: Stir in the shredded cooked chicken and continue simmering for another 2 minutes to heat the chicken thoroughly. Season the soup with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remove bay leaves and thyme sprigs if desired.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the soup with freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately for a comforting meal.
