Ingredients

6 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon sugar
2 carrots, thinly sliced
1 rib celery, thinly sliced
2 cups prepared potato gnocchi (about 11 ounces), thawed if frozen
2 cups frozen peas (8 ounces)
2 cups shredded cooked chicken, (about 1 large chicken breast)
Freshly ground black pepper
Hunk of good Parmesan

Directions

Put chicken broth, garlic, butter and sugar in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, bring it to a simmer, and cook, uncovered until the garlic is tender, about 2 minutes. Add the carrots and celery and continue to simmer until almost tender, 2 minutes. Bring to a full boil, stir in gnocchi and, cooking until the gnocchi are al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in frozen peas and chicken and turn off the heat. Season with salt —take into consideration that Parmesan cheese is salty, and a generous amount of pepper, to taste. Ladle the soup into warmed shallow bowls and shower each with freshly grated cheese.

Cook's Note: For more adventurous eaters, stir in chopped parsley leaves or dill.

Oh my garlic...
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I was intrigued to try this simple play on chicken noodle soup. Unfortunately, it's not something I would reccomend making... again. The garlic in this recipe is so overwhelming that you can't taste the other suttle flavors in the soup. Maybe if seasonings were in different proportions it would turn out better? I don't know - but I won't be making this again. Read more

delicioso!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I can't say enough good about this soup. I will definitely be making it the next time someone is sick, or it's cold outside,... or I have chicken, or... The broth is infused with so much garlic flavor, not to mention the butter. It is a fresh and beautiful looking soup when first prepared as well.Read more

Another family classic !!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

First, I LOVE SOUP!! It is the ultimate comfort food. Especially when it is thick and rich like this soup. Rachael would... have called it a "stoup". I used shredded rotisserie chicken and added both the dill and parsley for added flavour layers. It was rich and buttery...and my husband and son both loved it!!Read more

Easy & Light
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Nice throw-together soup that passed muster with my 4 yr old. Wish it had a bit more kick for the adults as it is a clear,... very tame soup, but I suspect this is a recipe just for kids? (didn't see an episode; found it by looking up gnocchi recipes.) Next time I'll try adding fresh spinach at the end.Read more
