  • 2 carrots peeled and diced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary

  • 1 ½ cups shredded rotisserie chicken from about half a chicken
  • 1 (16-ounce) package potato gnocchi
  • 1 cup half-and-half or heavy cream

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Add the dried thyme and rosemary, and stir to combine.

  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to become tender.
    6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  4. Season the broth generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken.

  7. Ladle the hot Easy Rotisserie Chicken Gnocchi Soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
