Creamy Chicken and Cauliflower Gnocchi

Creamy Chicken and Cauliflower Gnocchi Soup! I have seen so many people throw shade at this cauliflower gnocchi over the last few months. But whhhyyy???!! I heard that following the package cooking instructions can lead to a sticky mess, but there are many other ways to cook these that will produce delicious results. Many food bloggers unlocked the secret to transform these frozen grain free gnocchi into amazing little crispy pillows. This recipe cooks the gnocchi on the stove-top, but I heard the air fryer works well for these too. The rest of the soup cooks in the Instant Pot! Enjoy!
