Oregano
Salt
Pepper
Dill weed
Red chili flakes
Put 2 cartons of chicken stock into a crock pot. Clean and chop up veggies and add those in as well as any seasonings putting this in high for 5-6 hours or until the veggies get soft. Once they are soft cook up your chicken 3/4 of the way and add into the crock pot along with your gnocchi. Then add in your heavy whipping cream around 1 1/2 cups or so. Cook on high for another 30-45 minutes add a pinch of fresh parmesan and serve! It feels good on the throat and in your belly!
Chicken gnocchi soup is a heartwarming dish that not only satisfies your cravings but also provides numerous health benefits. The combination of chicken and vegetables creates a nutritious meal, rich in protein and vitamins. Using a crock pot allows the flavors to meld beautifully, resulting in a delectable, creamy texture. Adding heavy whipping cream gives the soup a luxurious feel, while seasonings like paprika and dill weed enhance its taste profile. For those concerned about dietary restrictions, this recipe can easily be modified. For instance, you can substitute heavy cream with a lighter alternative, or use gluten-free gnocchi for a healthier version. When preparing, ensure to monitor the cooking duration; overcooking can make the gnocchi too soft.
