Add Mushrooms & Garlic:
Stir in mushrooms, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Add chicken and stir.
Add Flour:
Sprinkle flour over the mixture and toss to coat the chicken and veggies. Cook for 1-2 minutes before adding the broth. Whisk to combine.
Simmer:
Bring the soup to a simmer, then cover the pot and let it cook for 10 minutes.
Add Gnocchi:
Remove the cover and bring the soup to a low boil. Add in gnocchi and cook for 2-3 minutes. Lower the heat to the lowest setting.
Finish & Serve:
Gently whisk the soup once more before serving!

Storing leftovers

You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3-4 days. Now, it might thicken up a bit as it sits, but no worries—just add a splash of chicken stock or whole milk when reheating to bring that smooth, creamy broth back to life. Want to save it for later? You can freeze it for up to 3 months—just make sure to let it cool completely before popping it in the freezer!

Make your Chicken Gnocchi Soup extra special

A drizzle of olive oil or a splash of white wine to give the soup some extra depth and a touch of luxury.
