Creamy Gnocchi Soup is a cozy, one-pot comfort meal made with pillowy gnocchi, tender vegetables, and a rich, creamy broth. It’s hearty, flavorful, and easy to customize for any preference.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 lb gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 2 cups baby spinach or chopped kale
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1–2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • Optional garnish: grated Parmesan, fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and Italian seasoning, and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer. Let vegetables cook for 10 minutes.
  4. Add gnocchi and cook until they float and are tender, 3–5 minutes.
  5. Stir in cream and simmer for a few minutes until warmed through.
  6. Fold in spinach or kale and cook until wilted.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add shredded chicken if using.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with Parmesan and parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use frozen gnocchi directly—no need to thaw.
  • For dairy-free, substitute coconut milk or cashew cream.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
  • Use gluten-free gnocchi if needed.
  • Gnocchi absorbs broth over time—add extra broth when reheating.
