Ingredients
- Chicken – 1 1/2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked & shredded. I just cooked mine on the stove and seasoned them with garlic salt, pepper, and onion powder, to taste.
- Olive Oil – 1/2 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
- Butter – 3 tablespoons of butter.
- Flour – 2 tablespoons of gluten-free all purpose flour.
- Yellow Onion – 1/2 of a large yellow onion, diced.
- Garlic – 2 teaspoons of garlic, minced.
- Chicken Broth – 5 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth.
- Almond Milk – 2 cups of plain, unsweetened almond milk.
- Carrots – 1 cup of shredded carrots.
- Parsley – 2 teaspoons of dried parsley.
- Thyme – 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
- Salt & Pepper – To taste, roughly 1/2-1 teaspoon of each.
- Gnocchi – 1 16-ounce package of mini gluten-free potato gnocchi. I like the brand Gia Russia.
- Spinach – 1 cup fresh baby spinach, chopped
- Optional – 2 tablespoons of water mixed with 2 tablespoons water to make a slurry for a thicker soup!
How To Make It
- In a large stock pot, melt the butter and olive oil together.
- Add in your onions, carrots and garlic. Cook until the onions become translucent & fragrant.
- Whisk in your flour and let cook for a minute to soak up any liquid (this will help your soup thicken). Slowly stir in your chicken broth and simmer until it starts to thicken up.
- Meanwhile, cook your gnocchi according to package directions. Drain & set aside.
- Add in your milk & seasonings to your stock pot and bring to a boil.
- Once at a boil, reduce heat to low and add your gnocchi, spinach and chicken simmering until heated through and thickened.
