Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables soften.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and thyme, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes.
  4. Carefully add the gnocchi to the boiling broth. Cook according to package instructions, usually around 2-3 minutes.
  5. Once the gnocchi is cooked, stir in the heavy cream and shredded rotisserie chicken. Allow it to heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing each with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For storage, refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently and add broth or water if the soup thickens.
