  • 5 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2-3 large Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 ½ cups vegetable stock
  • 2 ½ cups unsweetened plain oat milk
  • 1 lb potato gnocchi
  • 10 oz Morningstar Farms Vegan Chick’n Strips
  • ½ cup fresh spinach (optional)
  • ¼ tsp dried ground thyme

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: Heat the olive oil over medium-low heat in a large stock pot. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, celery, and carrots, and sauté for another 3 minutes until softened.
  2. Incorporate the potatoes and spices: Stir in the diced potatoes, ground thyme, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, and flour, ensuring all vegetables are coated.
  3. Add the liquid: Pour in the vegetable stock, bring to a simmer, and cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  4. Mix in creamy ingredients: Reduce heat and stir in the oat milk, vegan chick’n strips, and fresh thyme, allowing the soup to simmer for 10 more minutes.
  5. Prepare the gnocchi: Cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions.
  6. Combine gnocchi: After cooking, add the gnocchi to the soup along with the fresh spinach. Let simmer for another 3-5 minutes.
  7. Season and serve: Taste and adjust with salt, pepper, or fresh herbs as needed. Serve warm and enjoy!
