This has been my go=to for a long time, but it isn’t a traditional chicken soup.
Chicken, Spinach & Gnocchi Soup
adapted from a Food Network cookbook
Ingredients:
1 package of pre-made gnocchi
1 bag of baby spinach
skinless chicken breasts

1. Bring water to boil in a large pot throw in chicken and cook until it is cooked through.
2. Bring a medium sized pot of water to a boil over high heat, then salt generously. Add the gnocchi and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3. Slice your garlic and shred the chicken, reserve chicken stock.
4. Add ¼ cup of chicken broth, garlic, butter and sugar to a large pot over medium low heat. Bring it to a simmer and cook, uncovered until the garlic is tender, about a minute.
5. Add the spinach add let it wilt for about 30 seconds. Add 3¾ cups of chicken broth, the chicken and bring just to a simmer. Stir in gnocchi and bring to a full boil.
