Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 whole carrots peeled and diced
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 2 quarts (8 cups) chicken stock
- 1 (16 oz) package of dried gnocchi
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1/2 tsp dried dill
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a soup pot and set over medium-high heat. Add the diced carrots and stir. Cook for 5 minutes or until the carrots start to soften.
- Add the minced garlic and stir. Cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot. Simmer the carrots for 5 - 10 minutes or until tender.
- Add the gnocchi to the soup. They will sink to the bottom, so stir them occasionally so they don't stick. Cook for 3 - 4 minutes or until they float to the top.
- Add the lemon juice and dried dill to the soup. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
