How to Serve Marry Me Chicken Gnocchi Soup

When serving this, you can top it with parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes for some added heat.

This soup can be the entire meal, but you could choose to add garlic bread or a nice crusty artisan bread to help soak up all the delicious broth. You could also include a Caesar salad or Caprese salad (tomato, mozzarella cheese, basil, and balsamic drizzle).

Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and used for lunch the next day.
