Yesterday found me in the kitchen with a new recipe and lots of excitement.
The creamy base was so delicious,
the gnocchi were terrible (Rienzi Brand), the chicken was dry and lacked flavor...
if I make this again, I would use dark meat.
The ingredient line-up...
Brown cup up chicken...
One onion, one stalk of celery diced,
two cloves of garlic minced, one carrot shredded...saute'
add 1/3 of a cup of flour, 3 cups of milk, 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream, salt and pepper,
that's your base.
The kitchen is always a mess...
add the chicken back to the base...
spinach...
Pretty looking, but not amazing tasting.
Next time I will use dark meat and maybe rice, skip the gnocchi...
Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup,

That really does look delicious! I'm so sorry it didn't turn out the way you had hoped though. I think rice would be perfect, and maybe even boiling the chicken so it doesn't get dry? I'm sure you'll be able to create something very yummy out of this recipe :)
Happy Tuesday to you and lots of hugs,
Beate
Hello Debbie, your soup looks and sounds delicious. I am sorry it did not taste the way you would have liked. The creamy rice and chicken sounds good too. Have a happy day!
So sorry it doesn't taste as good as it looks!
I have some new recipes for you. My office mate has given them to me and they are super easy and delicious! Chicken pot pie and a Chicken Rice soup. You'll like both I think. Next time I see you I'll give you copies.
still looks good to me! :)
Well it looks good... but the creamy base seems versatile enough to use for a variety of other soups. PS - your messy kitchen looks like mine on a good day.
Oh Debbie, you just made my FAVORITE soup! How I love Chicken Gnocchi Soup. It's what I usually order at Olive Garden and I enjoy making it at home too.
What time should I come for supper? {{smiles}} Thanks for sharing with Roses of Inspiration. Hugs to you!
Well it looks yummy! I always enjoy seeing you cooking. Your food always looks picture perfect. Oh and if that is messy, my goodness, your kitchen is lovely. I think I am about the messiest cook in the world.
Oh gnocchi. This is my favorite Italian dish.
I do it with tomato sauce. They are delicious.
Greetings.
I've never had gnocchi, and actually don't recall hearing about it before. But, your soup looks delish! I think using dark chicken would be better also, and that's what I use making chicken n rice. :)

Oh, my! That looks good!
This looks delicious, Debbie!
Maybe just a bad brand of gnocchi (?)
It's usually pretty yummy! Very filling though.
I am not much of a cook but I have never heard of gnocchi, you learn something new every day, when it comes to cooking I have not a creative touch at all and would not know how to change a recipe to make it better. Good luck when you give it another try
Just add things until you like it...thats how i cook! Lol
Well, it looks delicious and it's fun to try new recipes, even if they don't always turn out like we want!
Oh my, now I have this sudden urge to go get something to eat! Loved this, can you tell. Oh you say you heard my tummy rumble? Me too!
It's a beauitful kitchen! It's good you write them down, since we can learn from mistakes!
It does look yummy due to your beautiful photos. I loved the tutorial, the ingredients look very good. I think all good cooks have a messy kitchen; at least that is my excuse. Blessings for you!
