Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 cup (114g) onion, chopped

  • 1 cup (114g) carrots, thinly sliced

  • 1 cup (125g) celery, chopped

  • 5 cups (1.2L) unsalted chicken stock

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 3 thyme sprigs

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup (125g) frozen green peas, thawed

  • 1 16-ounce (453g) package potato gnocchi

  • 8 ounces (227g) shredded skinless, boneless rotisserie chicken breast

Directions

Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan and swirl to coat. Add onion, carrots, and celery; sauté until vegetables start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add chicken stock, salt, pepper, thyme and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup water and flour. Stir flour mixture into soup; cooking until slightly thickened, 1–2 minutes.

Stir in peas, gnocchi and chicken. Cook until gnocchi are tender, they usually float to the surface when they’re done, about 3 minutes.
