Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Rotisserie Chicken Gnocchi Soup
  1. In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 chopped onion, 2 chopped carrots, and 2 chopped celery stalks. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves, cooking for an additional minute or until fragrant.
  4. Pour in ½ cup of white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced.
  5. Sprinkle in ¼ cup of flour, stirring well. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove raw taste.
  6. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of chicken stock and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.
  7. Mix in 1 cup of half-and-half, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Simmer gently while stirring.
  8. Gently stir in 16 ounces of gnocchi and cook until they float, about 3-5 minutes.
  9. Add 2 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken and 2 cups of fresh spinach, simmering for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  10. Grate a pinch of nutmeg into the soup and taste to adjust seasonings.
  11. Scoop into bowls, garnishing with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and black pepper. Serve alongside crusty bread.

Notes

Chop vegetables beforehand to save time. Always taste as you cook and adjust seasonings gradually. Don’t overcook gnocchi; they should float and remain tender. Use low-sodium chicken stock for healthier options. Cool leftovers before storing to maintain freshness.
