INSTANT POT CHICKEN AND GNOCCHI SOUP

FULL RECIPE

It’s a bowl full of creamy, savory flavor with onion, celery, carrots, shredded chicken, gnocchi, bacon, and spinach. I think gnocchi should always be in soup – it just belongs. The chicken and gnocchi would be just fine on their own but the bacon and garlic spinach really bring it all together at the end. One of the most unique and best parts about this soup is how much healthier it is than you think it is.

When you take a bite, you think you’re treating yourself to a glutinous bowl of butter and cream. In actuality, you mix in evaporated milk and water combined with cornstarch to thicken the soup without splurging in excess fat. This is the kind of trick I go around bragging to everyone about and normal people don’t care and wish I were done explaining how I make my soup because I’m boring them to death while the foodies stop me and ask for exact details. I love finding the foodies.
