An Up Date And Soup

I am joining Robin at The cranky crow soup chain. 

Chicken Gnocchi 

2 cups cooked chicken

1 package of premade gnocchi

 5 cups of chicken stock

2 carrots chopped

2 stalks celery chopped

1 med yellow onion chopped

Thyme

2 cloves garlic

1/2 and 1/2 1 cup+

1 Tab of corn starch

A bit of olive oil in pan, saute onions,carrots,celery until onions are tender add garlic cloves, saute just a min or two. Add chicken stock and thyme (I use a couple of stems of fresh thyme) Simmer until the veggies are tender.

Add chicken and simmer for a few min. Add gnocchi cook about 5 min until it floats. 

I add the cornstarch to a cup of 1/2 and 1/2 before adding to the soup to dissolve it. 

We like it thick if you like it thinner add less cornstarch.

(It will thicken as it continues to simmer)

I also add a tablespoon of butter at the end. Check for needed s & p.

I am more of a cook by the seat of my pants kinda girl. So I hope you enjoy it 

We went to a winter farmers market. The bread is delicious with soup 

I am in full Christmas mode here. Everyday something gets added to my Dec calendar. I want to join all the fun. Plus we are hosting a family party and some house guests.

I started a new rug. A crazy Vermont folk art piece.

My tooth saga ugh. 

I saw 3 dentists had 4 x rays. Spent more money than I care to think about. And it came down to a cracked tooth down through the root. It had to be pulled. I had pain like I have never had before. I really wanted to save that back moler but at this point I am happy it's gone. 

 Have a great week!
