Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- Olive oil spray
- 5 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
- 1 large shallot
- 6 garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons tomato paste
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 parmesan cheese rind
- 1/3 cup sundried tomatoes in oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 16 ounce package gnocchi
- 4 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh basil
- 1/4 cup half and half
- 1 cup cold water
- 7 ounces sweet Italian chicken sausage
Equipment Needed
- Dutch Oven or large pot
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, prepare a slurry by mixing together 1/2 cup of cold water, half and half, and flour. Whisk the ingredients thoroughly until they are completely combined. Set this mixture aside for later use.
- 2
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat over medium heat and lightly coat the bottom with cooking spray. Add the sausage to the pot and cook, using a wooden spoon to break it apart as it cooks, until it is no longer pink and has developed a slight browning.
- 3
Incorporate the shallots and garlic into the pot, cooking for about 3 minutes until they become tender. Then, stir in the tomato paste along with the chicken breast.
- 4
Add the remaining 1/2 cup of water, chicken broth, parmesan rind, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then partially cover it and let it simmer on low heat until the vegetables are soft and the chicken can be easily shredded, which should take around 25 minutes.
- 5
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and set it aside. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- 6
Return the shredded chicken back to the pot. Gradually incorporate the slurry, stirring continuously as you add it, and bring the mixture back to a boil.
- 7
Add the gnocchi, spinach, parmesan cheese, and basil to the pot; cook according to the gnocchi package instructions, or until the gnocchi begin to float and the soup thickens. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Discard the parmesan rind before serving.
