So as promised here is what I made for dinner yesterday. We really enjoyed and I can't wait to have some leftovers for lunch.
Sweet pepper and carrot soup with Gnocchi and Chicken breast
5 carrots
3 sweet orange peppers
1 yellow onion
4 tomatoes
2 Tbsp Olive oil
3 Tbsp of pizza seasoning
1 Tbsp salt
32 oz chicken broth low sodium no MSG
I peeled and finely diced five carrots three orange sweet peppers and an onion and let them sweat in a pot with the olive oil on a low heat. I chopped the tomatoes and threw them in seeds and all. I put a lid on the pot and lowered the heat to low and added the pizza seasoning and salt put the lid on and let it simmer for about an hour.
After the vegetables simmered for about an hour I removed 2/3 of the mixture leaving the juice in the pan.
To the pan I added half of the broth and two frozen chicken breasts, I placed the lid back on and turned the heat to medium cooking the breasts for about 2 hours at a simmer.
In the meantime I had peeled chopped and boiled 4 red potatoes for Gnocchi.
Gnocchi
Start a pot of salted boiling water
1C Mashed potatoes
2C Flour
1 Egg
Mix the egg and mashed potatoes adding slowly the flour. If you use a hand mixer it will turn to crumbs and at that point use your hands to mold the dough into 1/2 inch round tubes. Cut the dough into 1/2 inch pieces and drop into the boiling water. When the Gnocchi starts to float to the top spoon them out.
Once the Gnocchi was complete I added the rest of the chicken broth and most of the veggies. I took about two cups of veggies some hot broth and a few gnocchi put it in the magic bullet and added it to the soup to thicken.
As you can see I did not do anything to the chicken I served each whole with a bowl of the Gnocchi soup.
