Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • ½ white onion diced
  • 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • salt and cracked black pepper to taste
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pound chicken breasts about 2 breasts
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 large carrots coarsely shredded
  • 16 ounce package potato gnocchi uncooked
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • Parmesan cheese for topping optional

Instructions

  • Turn your Instant Pot onto the sauté setting. Add your butter. Once the butter is fully melted, add onions. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until onions are translucent, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the minced garlic to your onions for about 30 seconds to a minute. You just want enough time to pass to release the flavor, but not to burn them (they are quick to burn).
  • Press cancel on your Instant Pot. Add the broth, thyme, salt, broth and chicken breasts to the pot.
  • Place the lid on your Instant Pot. Close the valve to the sealing position. Set to cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Once time is done, do a quick release by opening the pressure valve to release all the pressure.
  • Remove the cooked chicken breasts. Shred and then transfer shredded chicken bake to your pot.
  • Turn your Instant Pot on to the sauté function. In a separate small bowl, mix together the milk and corn starch to create a cornstarch slurry, which acts as a thickener for your soup. Slowly stir the soup while slowly adding the cornstarch mixture.
  • Add carrots and gnocchi. Allow them to cook for about 5 minutes or until the carrots have cooked and the gnocchi are tender.
  • Stir in the fresh spinach which will wilt into the soup after a minute or two. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
