If you’ve ever been looking for good and healthy recipes to try for this new year, I got you covered! Today, I’ll be giving you a rundown of my three favorite recipes that I highly recommend.
Gnocchi Soup
This Olive Garden-inspired Gnocchi Soup is my favorite soup to make when it’s cold outside as it’s very creamy and warm, and it makes enough for leftovers.
Ingredients:
- 2 tbs butter
- 1 ½ cups of chicken broth
- 2 ⅕ cups of half and half
- 3 ⅕ cups of milk
- Gnocchi (I get mine at HomeGoods)
- Spinach, carrots, and/or onions
Directions:
- Melt the butter and cook vegetables until desired tenderness
- Add the chicken broth, half and half, and milk and bring to a boil
- Add desired amount of Gnocchi and cook for another 3-5 minutes until you are able to cut the gnocchi in half with a fork (careful: Gnocchi cooks very fast)
- Salt to taste
