Chicken and gnocchi Soup

This is one of those improvised dishes that I just made up as I went along.

Chicken and gnocchi soup

Poach the chicken in a combination of half water and half chicken stock. I use College Inn brand.
Cook it thoroughly.
Remove chicken from pan and put on cutting board to chop it up or shread, as desired.
While it cools, saute a little chopped onion and celery in a little butter.
Cut up or shread chicken.

Start sou p pot with combination of water and broth/stock.
Throw in chicken and onion.celery mixture.
Bring to boil.
Add mini gnocchi and broccoli. I also add shredded or sliced carrots.
Season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
I add crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick.
Any veggies work fine.
Do not cook too much longer after you add the gnocchi and broccoli, or the starch from the gnocchi will make it too think, and the broccoli will get mushy.
