  1. Have you tried freezing this soup? Just wondering how the gnocchi held up (or didn’t) when frozen, thawed, reheated? This looks wonderful!!! Thank you for sharing.

  2. I love all of your recipes that I’ve tried – and your website and updates. However, I don’t like gnocchi (I’m even half-Italian)! Do you think I could substitute tortellini or radiatori or another type of pasta? I just find that gnocchi leaves me feeling like I ate a doughy football! Thanks for any advice you can offer.

  3. Thank you – now, if the hot weather in Southern California would just relent from this heat and give us some soup weather – this’ll be my first one!

  4. No where in the recipe do I see the note for removal of the thyme springs or bay leaves. am I supposed to keep them in while serving the soup or remove them?

  5. HI there! This looks amazing, but my hubby and I are currently on Weight Watchers. Are you able to tell me the actual serving size for this recipe? How many cups equal one serving? Thank you!

  6. I have made this soup – WOW – it is very tasty and very easy and quick to make. Never thought before to add fresh thyme & bay leaf to a chicken broth soup. I put a bit of spin on this by coarsely chopping the parsley and adding it to the soup at the same time as adding the gnocchi – about 1/4 cup of parsley.
    Haven’t tried freezing yet (because the soup goes so fast !!). Making this again tomorrow for lunch, along with left-over elk roast & moose/elk meatloaf sandwiches. I will be feeding 3 hungry guys for lunch tomorrow !

    I made this recipe last night on a rainy day and it was so delicious. I just got the recipe for your noodle soup. Thank you so much.

    I love that your recipe doesn’t add heavy cream or corn starch . Going to win mom of year award today for making this for my son (his 2 favorite ingredients are gnocchi & chicken). Thanks!

    Absolutely delicious! I made this exactly as written (although I did cheat with a rotisserie chicken) and it was hands-down the best chicken soup I’ve ever made/had! Thanks for the recipe.

    Holy crap! I was so ready to be disappointed in this quick and easy soup! It’s fantastic! I did filet and sear the chicken, then add some broth to the pan drippings to add to the soup for more flavor! I also salted and peppered the chicken before I seared it to build flavor. I added freshly grated Parmesan as well at the end and some fresh spinach a couple minutes before taking it off the heat. Yum! My husband has Covid and wanted chicken soup! He approved! I’ll be making this on the regular!

    wonderful recipe ! was hoping to find one with the Gnocchi and WITHOUT the spinach and half & half. this was it ! want to bring some in containers for my brother in law who is undergoing Chemo … but still needs some comfort food. they grew up on Potato Dumplings (the size of a baseball) and I loved this version of the mini dumplings. STILL WONDERING …. can I freeze this in containers ??

    I made this soup during the Blizzard of 2022. I simmered the vegetables for about 30 minutes so the carrots would be tender. After adding the gnocchi, which was cooked perfectly, I left it on the stovetop to keep warm. The gnocchi became very gummy. I will use rice next time
