Main Ingredients
- 1 lb gnocchi (use gluten free if needed)
- 7 oz vegan sour cream
- 7 oz vegan cream cheese
- 6 oz vegan chicken cubes
- 1 tsp Italian herbs
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 2 ribs celery, chopped

- 1/4 cup carrots, shredded
- 1 handful spinach
Liquids & Oils
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Seasonings

Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics and Vegan Chicken: In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced celery, garlic, and finely chopped onions, sautéing for 2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened. Then add the vegan chicken cubes, season with salt and pepper, and continue frying for 3 more minutes until the vegan chicken begins to brown.
- Add Broth and Cook Gnocchi: Pour in 3 cups of vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the gnocchi to the pot and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the gnocchi float to the surface and are tender.
- Incorporate Cream and Vegetables: Stir in the vegan cream cheese and vegan sour cream until melted and combined. Add the shredded carrots, Italian herbs, and a handful of fresh spinach. Cook the soup for an additional 2 minutes to wilt the spinach and meld flavors. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed, then serve hot.
