Creamy Chicken Gnocchi Soup takes about 1 hour from beginning to end. This recipe serves 6. One serving contains 517 calories, 31g of protein, and 23g of fat. If you have chicken broth, half-and-half, flour, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. It can be enjoyed any time, but it is especially good for Autumn. It works well as a main course.

Recommended wine: Chianti, Verdicchio, Trebbiano

Chianti, Verdicchio, and Trebbiano are my top picks for Gnocchi. Italians know food and they know wine. Trebbiano and Verdicchio are Italian white wines that pair well with fish and white meat, while Chianti is a great Italian red for heavier, bolder dishes. The Faire La Fete Cremant de Limoux with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

Faire La Fete Cremant de Limoux

Light golden in color with vibrant aromas and flavors of baked apple, white cherry and lemon meringue. From gourmet caviar and oysters to popcorn, Faire la Fête is a versatile wine that pairs well with a range of dishes and cuisines. Try with an Asian pear salad, spicy tuna rolls, or pork chops and applesauce.Blend: 70% Chardonnay, 20% Chenin Blanc, 10% Pinot Noir
