Method
Preparation
- Heat a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely.
- Once the butter is melted, add the sliced carrots, mushrooms, celery, and shallots/onions. Sauté the mixture for about 3-4 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their liquid and it evaporates.
- Sprinkle some of the homemade seasoned salt and pepper over the vegetables. Cook for an additional 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender. Adjust the heat if necessary to keep them from browning too much.
- Add the pressed garlic, poultry seasoning, and dried thyme. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Next, sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables and stir to coat. Allow it to cook for about 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the chicken stock while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Follow this with the milk, increasing the heat to medium-high. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Once simmering, add the gnocchi to the pot and stir to combine. Continue to simmer over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the gnocchi are tender and cooked through.
- Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen peas. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Ladle the delicious mixture into bowls and serve hot, enjoying the warmth and comfort in every bite.
