Notes
Storage
- Refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
- Freezing is not recommended, as soups made with cream generally break when defrosted.
- Heat all the soup in a pot over medium-low heat or microwave individual portions at 1-minute intervals.
- Pat your chicken dry with paper towels before cooking it in oil to reduce spattering.
- Stir your vegetables often while cooking them to keep the garlic from getting brown and bitter.
- Your soup should be at a low simmer, not boiling, when you add your milk and cream to prevent curdling.
- Shred your chicken while it's still hot but safe to handle. Cool meat doesn't shred nearly as well.
- If you don't have a Dutch oven, choose a large pot with the heaviest bottom possible to help distribute heat evenly and retain heat more readily.
- Your gnocchi is finished cooking when it floats on top of the soup.
