Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Tablespoons butter or vegan butter
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 4 oz mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 large or 2 small ribs celery (thinly sliced)
- 1 large shallot or small onion (chopped)
- Homemade seasoned salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cloves garlic (pressed or minced)
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- Pinch dried thyme
- 3 Tablespoons gluten-free flour (or all-purpose flour)

Instructions
- Heat a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium-high heat until warm.
- Melt the butter in the pan until it foams and settles.
- Add the carrots, mushrooms, celery, and shallots/onions, sautéing until the mushrooms release their liquid, about 3-4 minutes.
- Season with homemade seasoning salt and pepper, continuing to sauté for an additional 6-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and starting to caramelize.
- Add garlic, poultry seasoning, and dried thyme, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stirring to coat and cook for another minute.
- Slowly pour in the chicken stock while stirring to avoid lumps, then add the milk and increase heat to medium-high.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally until gentle bubbles appear.
- Add the gnocchi and stir to combine well with the broth and vegetables.
- Lower the heat to medium and let simmer, stirring frequently until the gnocchi are tender, about 5-6 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen peas, adjusting with more seasoned salt and/or pepper as needed.
- Ladle into bowls and serve warm.
Notes
Let vegetables sauté fully for the best flavor. You can substitute chicken with leftover turkey.
