Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This soup is perfect for using what you already have. 

Leftover or home-raised chicken works great, and it’s an easy way to stretch a small amount of meat into a full meal. 

The soft gnocchi makes it extra comforting without needing bread on the side. It’s also flexible—add more vegetables, use cream or milk, or keep it lighter depending on what’s in your kitchen.

Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe shines when you use homegrown or preserved foods. Use fresh carrots, celery, and onions from the garden, or grab home-canned versions from your pantry. 

Home-canned or frozen chicken broth adds great flavor. Freeze-dried vegetables work well too—just rehydrate them before adding. 

Gnocchi can be homemade or store-bought, and milk or cream from fresh or shelf-stable sources both work.

Tools to Use

For this recipe, you'll just need some basic kitchen essentials. 

• Large soup pot or Dutch oven
• Cutting board and sharp knife 
• Wooden spoon
• Ladle

This chicken gnocchi soup is a simple way to use your food storage wisely while putting a warm, nourishing meal on the table.
