Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 4 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 large or 2 small ribs celery, thinly sliced
- 1 large shallot or small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
Seasonings & Spices
- Homemade seasoned salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- Pinch dried thyme
Liquids & Fats
- 4 Tablespoons butter or vegan butter
- 2 cups chicken stock or broth
- 1 cup milk, any kind (unsweetened almond milk recommended)
Other
- 3 Tablespoons gluten free flour (or all-purpose flour if not gluten free)
- 12 oz package gluten free gnocchi
- 1 ½ cups shredded chicken breast (~½ lb pre-cooked)
- ½ cup frozen peas
Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium-high heat. Melt butter in the pan, then add carrots, mushrooms, celery, and shallots/onions. Sauté until mushrooms release their liquid and it evaporates, about 3-4 minutes. Season with homemade salt and pepper, then continue to sauté until vegetables are tender, about 6-7 more minutes, adjusting heat if needed.
- Add Aromatics and Spices: Add pressed garlic, poultry seasoning, and dried thyme to the pot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is very fragrant.
- Create Roux and Add Liquids: Sprinkle gluten free flour over the vegetable mixture and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove raw flour taste. Slowly pour in chicken broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Add milk and increase heat to medium-high.
- Simmer with Gnocchi: Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Add gnocchi and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring frequently, until gnocchi are tender, about 5-6 minutes.
- Finish and Serve: Stir in shredded chicken and frozen peas. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary. Ladle into bowls and serve warm.
