You sure can! Any brand of slow cooker will do. If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can make this soup on your stove top as well. Follow all of the same instructions, making sure that your heat is set to low and you do not remove the lid for the 6 hour cook time.
Heavy cream is the best for the creamy consistency of the soup. However, whole milk will also work just fine in a pinch.
A bowl full of creamy chicken and gnocchi soup is the best way to end your day. This recipe is easy and delicious as can be!


Recipe Tips and Notes
- Do NOT peak! Every time you remove the lid from your slow cooker, essential heat escapes, and you’ll need to add a few minutes to your overall cooking time to make up for it.
- Remember to only add the spinach and gnocchi for the final 30 minutes of cooking. Both ingredients will cook quicker than the rest of the soup.
- When it comes to the garlic, I always say that fresh is best. Skip the pre-minced stuff and make the most out of mincing fresh garlic cloves.
The best part is, this soup makes wonderful leftovers and actually reheats very well in the microwave!

Picture this – it’s a cold, dreary day, and you’re also super busy. Avoid a lackluster dinner by making this incredibly hearty, easy, and cozy chicken and gnocchi soup in the Crockpot!
