What You’ll Need

Here’s a quick overview of the ingredients needed to create this delicious soup:

• Cooked chicken (shredded or diced)

• Potato gnocchi

• Carrots, celery, and spinach

How to Make Chicken Gnocchi Soup

1. Sauté the vegetables: In a large pot, cook onions, garlic, carrots, and celery until tender.
