  • Using tongs, pull the chicken out of the pot and shred using two forks. Add the chicken back Into the pot and bring the soup back to a low boil. Add the gnocchi in and cook. Once the gnocchi is floating, take out the parmesan rind and pour in the heavy cream.

Notes

To make this soup gluten free, use gluten free gnocchi.
If you don't have a parmesan rind, add in 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan at the end. 
Salt and pepper to taste at the end. Some chicken stocks are very salty, so it's best to add in your own salt to avoid over salting the soup.
