“Creamy” Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free Chicken Gnocchi Soup

Here in Colorado our summer days are sweltering but our summer nights tend to be filled with thunderstorms.  On nights like that, a light but delicious soup is perfect!  This is one of my favorites because it’s a twist on the classic chicken noodle.  With gluten-free gnocchi and some unsweetened almond milk, this DF/GF recipe satisfies even the pickiest of eaters (like my dad…)!

To start, cook up your chicken breasts.  You can choose your favorite method.  I ended up baking mine but you can grill, sauté, boil… you get the idea.  As the chicken is cooking, chop up your celery and carrots.  When the chicken is done, dice it up into bite-sized chunks.

In the bottom of your soup pot, sauté your celery and carrots in the oil, seasoning with the onion powder and garlic salt (feel free to use fresh onion and garlic if you feel so inclined).

Add in your diced chicken, almond milk, chicken stock, chicken bouillon, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.  Bring to a boil.

Carefully add your gluten-free gnocchi and let boil until the gnocchi float to the top.

Turn down heat, add spinach, and let simmer for five minutes.

Dish out a big bowl and enjoy the dairy-free, gluten-free goodness!
