Servings: 5
Calories: 406
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter (15 grams)
- ½ cup Onion , finely chopped (50 grams)
- ½ cup Celery , diced (70 grams)
- ⅔ cup Carrots , diced (100 grams)
- 1 Garlic Clove
- 4 cups Chicken Stock (1 liter)
- 1 cup Water (250 ml)
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- A pinch of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 cups Gnocchi (300 grams)
- 1 cup Fresh Spinach packed, chopped, stems removed (60 grams)
- 2 cup Rotisserie Chicken (240 grams)
- 1 cup Half and Half (250 ml)
Instructions
- Turn on the SAUTE function. Throw in the butter, chopped onion, diced celery and diced carrot. Saute for about 4 minutes (until the onion is translucent), stirring occasionally.
- When ready, turn off the SAUTE function (by clicking cancel) and add pressed garlic. Stir for about a minute before adding chicken stock, water, salt (see note 8), black pepper and dried thyme. Give everything a stir.
- Close and lock the lid in its position. Set the program to MANUAL (high pressure cooking) and adjust the time to 3 minutes.
- When the pressure cooking is finished, let the pot rest for 5 minutes before releasing its pressure manually.
- Turn on the SAUTE button again. Add the rest of the ingredients and cook until the gnocchi is ready (follow the package instructions).
- Serve warm.
Notes
- You can add more gnocchi, spinach and chicken, if you prefer a thicker soup.
- To make the soup richer, you can use heavy cream instead of half and half (single cream).
- Chicken stock can be substituted with vegetable stock or beef broth.
- This recipe was developed for a 6-quart/6-liter instant pot pressure cooker.
- The overall time does not include time the pot needs to come to pressure nor release its pressure (count with extra 15 minutes for this recipe).
- For more detailed information and tips please read the whole post.
- Butter can be substituted with olive oil, sunflower or vegetable oil. I only used 1 tbsp of butter and this was enough. To prevent burning, stir the veggies from time to time.
- If you are not sure how much salt the stock you are using contain, you can add the salt at the very end rather than at this stage.
