Cooking
  1. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil.
  2. Add the shredded cooked chicken into the pot.
  3. Once boiling, add in the gnocchi. Cook according to package instructions until they float to the top, typically 2-3 minutes.
  4. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and spinach. Allow to cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the spinach wilts.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving
  1. Ladle the soup into bowls and pair it with a crusty bread for dippers. Enjoy your creamy masterpiece!

Notes

For a lighter option, consider using low-fat milk instead of heavy cream. For a vegetarian version, substitute cooked chicken with chickpeas or additional veggies. Ensure all ingredients are Halal-compliant. Avoid overcooking the gnocchi to prevent mushiness.
