Hi Holly! I’ve only tested this recipe as written so it would be hard to know how to convert this to a crockpot recipe. I do have one using dumplings instead of gnocchi that you might like: https://www.wellplated.com/crockpot-chicken-and-dumplings/ If you decide to experiment, let me know how it goes!
Hi Fran! I’ve only tested this recipe as written, so it would be an experiment if you make it dairy free. If you decide to give it a try, let me know how it goes!
Hi Estee! I’ve only tested the recipe as written, so it would be an experiment if you try it in the Instant Pot. If you decide to try it, I’d love to hear how it goes!
This soup is amazing! (Actually it ended up being more of a stew but no complaints there.) I thought about adapting it for the pressure cooker but decided that browning the chicken is an essential element… All that fond seems important for the final results.
Also, I never thought to sub low fat evaporated milk for cream. That little tip is going to be my go to for soups from now on! Thanks!
One tip: I added a tablespoon of Lakeshore Drive Shallot and Herb Seasoning from The Spice House. Yum!
Hi Lauri, you do not cook it before putting in the soup. Step 6 in the recipe card gives more instructions about how long to cook it. Hope you enjoy it!
I loved this recipe, it is so cozy! I stuck to the recipe as written and I would highly recommend you do the same. The flavors are perfection and well-balanced.
I made this soup today, and it’s excellent! I didn’t have celery, but added an extra carrot. I also added a splash of white wine. The soup is creamy and rich and so satisfying. Thank you!
This is the 3rd recipe of yours that I’ve tried and each one has been sensational. Browsing your site is now becoming an essential part of my family meal planning process.
As to this recipe in particular, this soup received rave reviews from all of my family members and made plenty for lunch the next day. An absolute winner.
Delicious! I sliced up a couple tomatoes and a package of mushrooms that needed to be used up, but other than that the recipe is perfect as written. I’ve never added gnocchi to soup, just in place of pasta in red sauce recipes. This has great flavor and looks delicious too! My guys loved it, and I love that this is a healthier version of cream soup. It was a filling meal all by itself, but we did have some crusty bread for the bottom of the bowl. I appreciate the swaps of evaporated milk in this recipe and yogurt in others that lighten things up without sacrificing flavor. Thank you, and please keep them coming :)
Erin! This soup was AMAZING! I made it exactly as written (except the brand of gnocchi, my store was out of the recommended brand) and it was a huge hit. I will definitely be adding this soup to my winter menu rotation and I’m considering making it again next week, it was that good! THANK YOU!
I did the 2x version of this recipe. Not the biggest fan of the flavor. Had to do a lot of adjustments with spices/seasoning and had to spoon a lot of liquid. When it got to the cornstarch phase, I wasn’t sure what a “few tablespoons” was supposed to look like, so I had to guess. I think that also impacted how this turned out.
I’m sorry to hear that you had trouble with the recipe, Karley. The method and timing has worked well for myself (and others) but I know how frustrating it can be to try a new recipe and not have it work out, so I really wish you would’ve enjoyed it!
Can this be done in the crockpot? If so, what changes would I need to make?
Thanks,
Holly Simpson

Any chance this can be made dairy free?

Along the line of the crock pot question..how about soup setting on the Instantpot?

Do you cook the gnocchi before adding to the soup?
