The Best crockpot chicken gnocchi soup recipe

I love making this crockpot chicken gnocchi soup because it is so easy and tastes like something you would get at a fancy restaurant. My kids go crazy for it, and my husband always asks for seconds. The best part is that it is packed with protein from the chicken and has soft potato gnocchi that makes it feel like a hearty meal. This soup is perfect for busy weeknights when you want something warm and filling without spending hours in the kitchen. It is also a great way to sneak in some veggies like carrots and celery, so I feel good about serving it to my family. I usually make it on Sundays for a relaxed dinner, and the leftovers are just as good the next day. You can use boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, and the slow cooker does all the work. The creamy broth comes together beautifully, and the gnocchi stays tender. This recipe has become a staple in our house, and I think you will love it too.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Crockpot Chicken Gnocchi Soup

1. Can I use frozen gnocchi in this crockpot chicken gnocchi soup?

Yes, you can use frozen gnocchi. Just add it in the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking, same as fresh gnocchi. No need to thaw it first.

2. How do I thicken the soup if it is too thin?

If the soup seems thin, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to make a slurry. Stir it into the soup and cook on high for 10 more minutes until it thickens.

3. Can I make this soup dairy free?

To make it dairy free, swap the heavy cream for full fat coconut milk or a dairy free cream alternative. The soup will still be creamy and delicious.

4. How long can I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave. The gnocchi may absorb some liquid, so add a splash of broth when reheating.

5. Can I add vegetables like spinach or kale?

Absolutely. Stir in a few handfuls of fresh spinach or chopped kale during the last 10 minutes of cooking. They will wilt into the soup nicely.
