Chicken & Dumpling (Well, Gnocchi) Soup

Y’allllll. Y’all, ya’ll!

This is one of the better recipes I’ve made in awhile (and that’s saying a lot since I’ve made some goodies recently).

You start with a humble rotisserie chicken, and then you use all of its fat and flavor to make THE BEST chicken broth over about half an hour. It’s unctuous and so comforting.

You also throw some hearty carrot and celery slices into the mix to make it that more comforting.

And then you throw some gnocchi into the pot and let it soak up some flavor for a few minutes. And then, you can add some spinach for health (though we forgot it in ours).

This soup tastes like chicken and dumplings, but I’m pretty sure it’s a heck of a lot easier. The gnocchi is soft, there’s tons of shredded chicken and the veggie are perfection.

Trust me! This soup will bring peace and happiness to your family. Well, maybe if you eat it together at the table, it will.
