Frequently asked questions (faqs)

  • Can I use store-bought gnocchi?

Yes! Shelf-stable or refrigerated gnocchi both work beautifully in this recipe.

  • Can I make this dairy-free?

Swap heavy cream for coconut cream and use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.

  • Can I freeze Marry Me Gnocchi Soup?

It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze it without the gnocchi. Add fresh gnocchi when reheating.

  • Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of raw chicken?

Absolutely — just skip the searing step and add shredded rotisserie chicken at the end.
