Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Don’t forget to stir occasionally!
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Toss in the shredded chicken and pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Once simmering, lower the heat and gradually whisk in the heavy cream.
  6. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
  7. Stir in the gnocchi and let the soup cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the gnocchi floats to the surface and is tender.
  8. Remove the pot from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For a lighter version, consider using half-and-half instead of heavy cream. You can also replace chicken with shrimp or vegetables for a delightful twist. Avoid boiling the soup after adding the cream to prevent separation.
