Cream of Chicken and Gnocchi Soup

A copycat version of the Olive Garden® soup. Oh so good!

Step: 1

Melt butter in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion, celery, carrot, and garlic until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir flour into vegetable mixture; cook and stir until vegetables are evenly coated and flour is fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes.

Step: 2

Pour chicken broth, half-and-half, and milk over vegetable mixture; cook and stir until mixture thickens and comes to a boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat and stir gnocchi, chicken, and spinach into broth mixture; season with rosemary, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Cook soup over low heat until gnocchi become tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

The word “stew” can process to both a food and a make dishes method. Stewing involves not fast cooking chunks of meat, vegetables or beans in a tastefull liquid . It’s same as to braising, but it does have a few notable differences. The meat is chopped into few of pieces but of being cooked whole , and the liquid completely covers the essential in a stew as compared to a braise’s halfway full . When meat or raw fruit are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a reputation for being a rib-sticking eating process that warms you up on a cold , winter day. It’s right that ; a bowl of classic beef stew can make warming properties , but stew’s cozy factor more than a way beyond protecting you from the chill . It’s all about those soft and chunks of food and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The more they come together creates the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
