Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups mirepoix (chopped onions, celery, and carrots)
  • 1-2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1-2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
  • two 12 ounce cans evaporated milk
  • two 1 lb. packages gnocchi (about 4 cups)

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken, mirepoix, basil, Italian seasoning, poultry seasoning, salt, and broth in a crockpot or slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 6-8 hours. Shred the chicken directly in the crockpot.
  2. Add the cornstarch mixture, evaporated milk, and gnocchi. Stir and replace cover. Cook another 45 minutes – 1 hour until the soup has thickened and the gnocchi has softened.
  3. While the soup is thickening, fry crispy bacon bits, then saute garlic and wilt spinach. Add bacon, spinach, and garlic to the crockpot.
  4. Add additional liquid (like water) if needed to reach desired consistency. Season again with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

- Use good quality chicken broth for the best flavor base.
- Don't overcook the gnocchi; they should be tender but not mushy.
- Adjust seasoning at the end; salt and pepper are key to balancing the richness.
