Crock Pot Chicken Gnocchi Soup

Tender potato gnocchi, chicken, carrots, celery, and spinach tossed into a crockpot with a simple creamy broth. If you’re a fan of Olive Garden Gnocchi Soup or Chicken and Wild Rice Soup, this will quickly become a new favorite!

We didn’t fully understand the hype with gnocchi before offering Rana Meals Solutions Potato Gnocchi (#2754) in our catalogs, and now…we totally get it! These fluffy, pillowy bites are delicious boiled for a traditional, softer bite or cooked in a skillet for a crispy texture on the outside, with a soft, tender center.

Recipe Variations

As with most recipes, there are a few variations to try:

1. Use fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme. Since this is cooked in a crockpot, you can leave the sprigs whole or dice it beforehand.
2. Swap the chicken with ground sausage for a Zuppa Toscana vibe.
3. Use a pre-chopped mirepoix blend to cut down on prep time.
4. Make it dairy free by swapping the half and half with coconut milk.
5. Bacon makes everything better! Chop up a few slices of Daily’s Deep Applewood Smoked Precooked Bacon (#9137) and stir it in.
6. To make it vegetarian, simple use your favorite chicken or ground sausage meat alternative. Or, mix a firm tofu in at the end.

How long will this soup stay good?

This soup will keep for 3-4 days in your fridge, if stored in an airtight container. But, the gnocchi will get soft. So, if you’re using it to meal prep, we recommend keeping the gnocchi in a separate container and mixing it together when you heat up each serving.
