A rich, creamy soup featuring tender chicken, soft gnocchi, sun-dried tomatoes, and lots of garlic in a silky broth with Parmesan and cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut in small pieces
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed), sliced, plus 1 tablespoon oil from the jar
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 16 ounces potato gnocchi (shelf-stable or refrigerated)
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more to serve
  • 2 cups baby spinach, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken dry, season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear chicken until lightly golden, 4–6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the sun-dried tomato oil. Sauté onion until soft, 3–4 minutes. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes; cook 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in tomato paste and cook 1 minute to caramelize. Add sun-dried tomatoes and deglaze with a splash of broth, scraping up browned bits.
  4. Pour in the rest of the chicken broth. Return chicken and any juices to the pot. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  5. Add heavy cream and Parmesan until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Add gnocchi and simmer over medium-low heat until tender and floating, 3–4 minutes. Do not boil hard after adding dairy; keep it at a gentle simmer.
  7. Stir in spinach to wilt, 30–60 seconds. Finish with lemon juice. Adjust salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and top with more Parmesan and herbs.

Notes

For thicker soup, simmer a few extra minutes or add a small cornstarch slurry. Rotisserie chicken can be used for quick prep.
