Soup

Preheat the oven to 375°
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, whisk together the flour, cream, and milk.

Once it has thickened, gently fold in the cooked chicken and add the gnocchi.
Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the gnocchi is tender and heated through.
Taste, and add any other desired seasonings

15-20 Minutes Before Serving

Transfer the chicken and gnocchi mixture to a baking dish (unless you are using an oven safe saucpan or dutch oven).
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and bacon evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve with chopped green onions

Notes

This is the Gnocchi recepie – https://abigailscookbook.stanzas.net/2023/01/13/potato-gnocchi/

You can omit the flour, 2 cups of milk, 4 cups of chicken broth, the butter, and the salt, and use two 10.5 oz cans of Cream of Chicken soup instead.

You can add fresh spinach, sautéed mushrooms, or broccoli during the cooking process. Just make sure you add them early enough to cook enough. You could possibly steam the broccoli until it’s al dente, and then add it to the soup.
