Notes
If you want a quick shortcut, using rotisserie chicken is a time-saver! Don't worry if your gnocchi is a little lumpy; it’s character building! Plus, it all blends in deliciously once cooked. This soup keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days. While you can freeze it, be aware that the cream may separate upon thawing.
