This Creamy Chicken Gnocchi Soup is a from scratch, delicious, and hearty recipe that my family loves! We love making this all year round, but it is perfect for crisp fall evenings and snow days!
Sometimes my husband comes home, starts eating what I made, and makes a couple remarks about how great it is and how “Mommy” is such a great cook. This is 30 you guys. Being called Mommy by your husband and being super proud of the from scratch soup you just made. 🙂 I really wouldn’t have it any other way!
I have to agree with my husband though, this Creamy Chicken Gnocchi Soup is delicious, and a great recipe to put on your fall cooking bucket list! I’ve had this soup in my head for a couple of weeks and finally I got to go to the grocery store baby free and actually came home with the ingredients I set out to get int he first place. Every other time I was there I was forgetting ingredients, then using the ingredients I did get for something else, and then forgetting things again. A vicious cycle it was, until I insisted I needed to do the grocery store baby free on a Saturday morning. 30 minutes in I get the text that baby is crying and I made a mad dash through the rest of the grocery store grabbing things. Guess I didn’t do too bad!
Creamy Chicken Gnocchi Soup Recipe Tips
First of all, this recipe is so easy! SO EASY. For chicken soups I generally will make the chicken ahead of time. To do this, I simply place the chicken in a baking pan with a bit of water at the bottom to keep it moist (because we all love that word), season it with kosher salt, and bake. I place a piece of tin foil over the top of the pan to make sure all that moist, watery goodness stays in. Then when I’m ready to make the soup I just chop the chicken into cubes and that is it. It just is overall an easier method!
