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.

This hearty soup combines tender chicken, pillowy gnocchi, and a medley of vegetables in a rich, creamy soup.

Hi Kat!
Did you use gnocchi that is found in the refrigerated section?
Jess I used to do get my gnocchi from the refrigerator section, but have only recently discovered that it can be bought from the pasta section of the supermarket. I’ve been using that and am really happy with the results. So I guess you can use whichever one you prefer 🙂
