Ingredients
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1½ tsp Kosher salt, divided
1 tsp Dried Oregano
1/4 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
1 Medium Sweet Onion, diced
2 Celery Sticks, finely chopped
½ Cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, finely chopped
4 Cloves Garlic, finely chopped
2 Tbsp Tomato Paste
4 Cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
2 Tbsp First Street Pesto
16 oz Dried Potato Gnocchi
1/2 – 1 Cup Heavy Cream
5 oz Fresh Baby Spinach
1/2 Cup Parmesan, grated
Directions
- Place cubed chicken in a large mixing bowl, then season with 1 tsp. Kosher salt, 1 st. dried oregano, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss well.
- Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil and 2 Tbsp butter in a large soup pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes (the chicken will finish cooking in the soup). Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate.
- To the pot, add 1 diced onion and 2 stalks of diced celery. Season with 1/2 tsp Kosher salt then cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes, 4 cloves chopped garlic, and 2 Tbsp tomato paste. Stir, breaking up the paste with a spatula to help it dissolve.
- Add 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, 2 Tbsp pesto. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the soup (along with any juiceson the plate), then stir in 16oz dried potato gnocchi. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the gnocchi begins to float to the top and are tender.
- Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream (or up to 1 cup if you want it really creamy), 5 oz. baby spinach, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Taste the soup, then adjust seasoning as needed, adding more Kosher salt or black pepper.
- Serve immediately with additional Parmesan cheese.
- Enjoy!
