It may be May tomorrow, but it's cold and rainy all week here in Chicagoland. What better way to warm up, than with a hearty bowl of soup!
Chicken and Gnocchi is a favorite of a lot of people, and for good reason. This soup is creamy and rich, with wonderful vegetables and pillowy soft gnocchi.
I have made this with both homemade and store bought gnocchi, and both have been wonderful! Using store bought is so simple, and there are some great brands out there, that have created a stellar product. If you do feel like making your own gnocchi, check out my recipe here. https://seasonandthyme.com/homemade-potato-gnocchi/
