I love the Food52 website and I frequent the site for ideas and recommendations for new recipes. This soup was recently highlighted in one of its emails and I couldn’t wait to try it.
At the same time that I saw this recipe, I was hearing a lot about Trader Joe’s Cauliflower Gnocchi. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to try both and with another winter storm looming, nothing sounded better than a hot bowl of soup.
Except for baked goods I rarely follow a recipe verbatim. This recipe was no exception. I simplified some of the preparation and also reduced the overall cooking time.
This soup is hearty and satisfying. The chicken provides protein and the cauliflower gnocchi added a nice texture without the full carbs of regular gnocchi.

This lovely soup is a good way to re-purpose leftovers. It is modified from a recipe found on Food52.com.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions
To prepare broccoli, remove florets from stem and cut into small pieces. If needed, peel and discard tough outer part of broccoli stem then dice.

Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
