Recipe Summary Copycat Chicken And Gnocchi Soup

After 8 or 9 attempts at nailing the famous Italian-American restaurant version, I came out with this copycat version and I like it even more than theirs! Extremely hearty and tasty, this chicken and gnocchi soup will be a crowd pleaser! Best served with garlic bread sticks; you will come back for more!

Ingredients | Zupas Cauliflower Soup Recipe Copycat

5 bone-in chicken thighs, or more to taste

4 cups finely chopped carrots

3 cups half-and-half

3 cups chicken stock

3 cups water

4 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste

2 cubes chicken bouillon (such as Knorr®)

2 (16 ounce) packages potato gnocchi, or more to taste

1 (12 ounce) package Parmesan cheese, cut into chunks, or more to taste

1 stalk celery, finely chopped, or more to taste (Optional)

3 cups finely chopped baby spinach

Directions

Place chicken in a pressure cooker. Close cooker securely and place pressure regulator over vent according to manufacturer's instructions. Heat until steam escapes in a steady flow and makes a whistling sound, 5 to 10 minutes. Adjust temperature until regulator is gently rocking. Cook for 15 minutes.

Let pressure release naturally according to manufacturer's instructions, 5 to 10 minutes. Unlock lid and remove.

Remove skin and bones from the chicken; chop meat into bite-sized chunks. Transfer to a large pot. Add carrots, half-and-half, stock, water, garlic, and bouillon cubes. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add gnocchi and Parmesan cheese. Reduce heat to medium heat. Let simmer, stirring frequently, until flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Stir in spinach; cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.

Cook's Notes:

You can use 3 chicken breasts instead of thighs, if desired.

I like this recipe as it stands because of the creaminess. However, the half-and-half can be reduced to 1 1/2 cups and the remaining 1 1/2 replaced with milk or water to reduce calories.

Feel free to substitute the stock, bouillon, and water mixture with 6 cups chicken stock.
