Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Broth

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups chicken broth

Vegetables

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped

Dairy and Others

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups gnocchi
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Chop the spinach. These fresh vegetables will add depth and flavor to your soup.
  2. Add to Crockpot: Place the chicken breasts, chicken broth, diced onion, minced garlic, and salt into the Crockpot. This slow cooker method helps to infuse the chicken with the broth and aromatic vegetables over time.
  3. Slow Cook: Cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours or on high heat for 3 to 4 hours. This cooking time ensures the chicken becomes very tender and the flavors meld beautifully.
  4. Shred Chicken: Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the Crockpot using two forks for easy shredding. This step helps to evenly distribute chicken throughout the soup.
  5. Add Gnocchi, Spinach, and Cream: Stir in the gnocchi, chopped spinach, and heavy cream. Continue cooking on low for an additional 20 to 30 minutes until the gnocchi are tender and the soup is creamy.
  6. Season and Serve: Taste the soup and add additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot and enjoy this warm, creamy delight.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, add more heavy cream or reduce the broth slightly before cooking.
  • Use store-bought gnocchi for convenience; fresh gnocchi can also be used but may need shorter cooking time.
  • Spinach can be substituted with kale or Swiss chard for variation.
  • Leftover soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • Ensure the chicken is cooked through before shredding for the best texture and safety.
