MARRY ME CHICKEN GNOCCHI SOUP, TOMATO BASIL BREAD, & BROWN BUTTER SNICKERDOODLES

Happy Thursday!

Last spring we took the TikTok "Marry Me Chicken" trend and made a delicious new soup. This soup inspired by the viral recipe features bold Italian-inspired flavors like sun-dried tomatoes, garlicky chicken, and pillowy gnocchi.  It's creamy, flavorful, and might lead to a marriage proposal before dinner is over!!  On the menu for WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21st is MARRY ME CHICKEN GNOCCHI SOUP, TOMATO BASIL BREAD, & BROWN BUTTER SNICKERDOODLES.  

The soup begins by sauteing aromatic vegetables like onion, carrots, and celery in a little bit of olive oil. Once softened, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning are added along with sun-dried tomatoes and tomato paste to deepen the flavor of the broth. 

Homemade chicken stock, pillowy potato gnocchi, and a bit of heavy cream are added, creating a luscious, satisfying base. Fresh spinach and grated Parmigiano cheese melt into the soup for added richness and flavor. The soup is garnished with fresh basil.

The bread companion on the menu this week is my TOMATO BASIL BREAD. This delicious bread is flavored with tomato, fresh basil, and Parmesan cheese and sugar-tomato glaze adds the perfect touch to the crust.

The menu this week features BROWN BUTTER SNICKERDOODLES.  These delicious cookies are rolled in cinnamon sugar, baked to a soft, chewy center with lightly crisp edges. Warm spice, subtle tang, and a rich, buttery finish in every bite. - Payton from Baked by Brown Butter
