👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- TO MAKE THE SHREDDED CHICKEN: ---
2. 2First start by shredding your cooked chicken. You can totally follow my Easy Shredded Chicken recipe! Set aside.
3. 3--- TO MAKE THE SOUP: ---
4. 4In a medium-sized dutch oven pot over medium high-heat, add the butter and olive oil. Once heated and the butter has melted and the oil has heated, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add in the sundried tomatoes and tomato paste, stirring until combined. Add the flour, tuscan blend, and salt, whisking until combined. Now, add in the gnocchi, lightly sautéing them until a bit seared and crisp, about 1-2 minutes.
5. 5Reduce the heat to medium-low and slowly add in the heavy cream, chicken stock, lemon juice, and white wine, stirring frequently until combined and everything is smooth without lumps. Add in the shredded chicken, bay leaves, and chopped kale and stir to combine. NOTE: If adding tomatoes, you can do so at this point.
6. 6Let everything simmer for about 10-12 minutes or until the gnocchi is fully cooked through, floats to the top, and tender.
7. 7Add in the grated parmesan, stirring until cheese has melted and the soup becomes creamy. Simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
8. 8Remove from heat, discard the bay leaves, and serve immediately into prepared bowl(s), top with a side of bread, Homemade Texas Toast Garlic Bread, or salad, if desired.
9. 9Bon Appetit!
