More About This Recipe

  • Wintertime, springtime, fall. Three seasons of the year during which we crave soup. And while there are a lot of soups we love to make, this is perhaps the favorite-est. Which isn’t even a word. But when you taste this soup, you’ll agree: it should be. Creamy butter-kissed broth, chicken (we use rotisserie chicken, just to shortcut the cooking time of this simple soup even more) and gnocchi pasta. It’s comfort food in a bowl, perfect for every soup season of the year.
