Chef's Tips

For a thicker soup, you can whisk 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the soup during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Feel free to add other vegetables such as mushrooms, zucchini, or peas.

You can use rotisserie chicken instead of raw chicken breasts. Just shred the rotisserie chicken and add it to the slow cooker with the gnocchi.

For a dairy-free option, use coconut cream or cashew cream instead of heavy cream.
