Ingredients

  • 3-4 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced, I used rotisserie chicken.
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 medium carrots shredded
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 15 ounce jar of Alfredo sauce
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 16 ounce package of gnocchi
  • 1-2 cups baby spinach roughly chopped
  • ½ cup heavy cream optional for extra creaminess
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese optional, for serving

Instructions

  • Place the diced onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and cooked chicken in the crockpot. Pour the Alfredo sauce and chicken broth into the crockpot. Add the Italian seasoning.
    Hand pouring chicken broth into a slow cooker filled with shredded chicken, celery, shredded carrots, cream soup, and Italian herbs.
  • Stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. (After testing this recipe several times, the texture is best when cooked on low.)

  • About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the chopped spinach and gnocchi. Cover and continue cooking until the gnocchi is tender and floats to the top. 30-45 minutes.
    Fresh spinach and uncooked gnocchi added to the creamy chicken soup mixture in a slow cooker.
  • Stir in the heavy cream during the last 15 minutes of cooking. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
    Hand pouring milk into the crockpot of creamy chicken gnocchi soup before the final stir.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve warm with crusty bread or a side salad. So good! Enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Cream based soups don't always freeze well because the cream seperates. This is best enjoyed fresh. Reheat by warming gently on the stove over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of broth or cream to thin, if necessary.
