What a hearty, comforting dinner in just 30 minutes! From our The Betty Crocker Cookbook, 13th edition, this quick recipe uses dried gnocchi and leftover cooked chicken with your own fresh veggies and herbs and a few other flavorful ingredients. Italian for “dumplings,” gnocchi are adorable little gems traditionally made from potato and flour or farina and eggs and cheese, however you can find a variety of gnocchi made with other ingredients that come dried, fresh or frozen, including sweet potato, chickpea and even cauliflower. We like to think of them like pasta’s cute cousin! They make a filling anchor for this flavorful soup you can make in a snap any night of the week.
It could be called the ultimate chicken soup! It’s packed with a variety of veggies that lend color, flavor, texture and heartiness in the most delightful way. Shredded Parmesan sprinkled over the top adds just the right “something extra” to make this satisfying soup sing. Ladle up servings in your favorite soup bowls and add a slice of toasted baguette, slathered with butter and a crisp tossed green salad on the side. It’s like a warm hug after a cold, hard day! Any leftovers can be reheated for lunch the next day or to enjoy as a comforting snack.
