Chicken Gnocchi Soup

A family-friendly chicken gnocchi soup recipe that will warm the body, soothe the soul, and chase away any pesky winter germs.

Chicken soup is my go-to for flu season! It’s pretty quick to make (in fact, I often have extra frozen for times like these), easy on sore throats, and gentle on sensitive stomachs.

This Chicken Gnocchi Soup recipe is a lovely creamy dish, and the ultimate comfort food that packs a punch in the nutrient department.

I use celery, carrots, onions, and baby spinach in my soup, but you could easily add extra vegetables to suit your own tastes.
