Gnocchi soup in the Instant Pot



It snowed today (which is not all that common here) so it was time for some soup. Since the cupboards were a bit bare I mixed and matched and came up with this soup. I think it's a keeper!

1 chicken leg quarter
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1 large garlic clove, chopped
1 envelope chicken noodle soup
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 can cream of chicken
1 pack of gnocchi (1 lb)
1 small can of tomato sauce
Italian seasoning
Parmesan cheese


Sautee the chicken leg quarter with the onion and garlic in the Instant Pot for about 5 minutes. Add 6 cups of water and cook using the pressure cooker setting for 15 min. Let it cool.

Remove the chicken from the pot, take the meat off the bone, and cut it in little pieces.

Blend the broth, onion, and garlic and return to the Instant Pot. Set it to sautee. Add one envelope of chicken noodle soup, one chicken bouillon cube, one can of cream of chicken soup, the tomato sauce, and a pack of gnocchi. Season with Italian seasoning and let it cook until the gnocchi float to the top (5 min). Add 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, stir, and serve.
