It always gets a gold star when my whole family gobbles it up! Easy, quick, comfort dinner.
It's from RR 30 minute meals and it's called a stoup because it's a cross between a soup and stew.

FOUR SERVINGS






2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
4 ribs celery from the heart, chopped
2 onions, chopped
4 carrots, shredded (1 1/2 cups)
1 fresh bay leaf
Salt and freshly ground pepper
6 cups chicken broth
1 pound ground chicken
1 egg
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs (a couple of generous handfuls)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (a couple of generous handfuls)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Dash freshly grated nutmeg
One 1-pound package gnocchi
1 cup frozen peas
Flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped (a couple of generous handfuls)
Crusty bread, for dunking







1. In a soup pot, heat the EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add the celery, onions, carrots and bay leaf, season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the broth, cover the pot and bring to a boil.
2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, season the chicken with salt and pepper. Stir in the egg, bread crumbs, cheese, garlic and nutmeg. Roll the mixture into walnut-sized meatballs (you'll have about 40) and add to the stoup. Simmer for about 10 minutes while you wash up. Add the gnocchi to the stoup and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the peas and parsley and cook for 2 minutes. Remove the stoup from the heat, discard the bay leaf and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve with the bread.

My notes: My market didn't have ground chicken so I used turkey. I also bought the carrots already shredded. I did serve it with a fresh loaf of bread. Good for dipping.

This is very good. The first time I made this I used dried gnocchi-bleck. The last time I made this I used tortellini and it was so much better. We love this and so do the DGKs. Thanks for bringing it up .

Great tip on using tortellini, Vicky.
I used shrink-wrapped gnocchi from TJ's and they were nasty - will defintely repeat with the tortellini.

I made this last week and DH and I LOVED it! Much bettter even the next day. I used vacuum-sealed Alessi gnocchi which were fine; I was thinking that dropping quartered packaged biscuit dough in would be good, too. Will definitely repeat this one!

I like the cut-up biscuit idea!

Anything with dumplings rocks -- you can bet I'll be trying this, too.
