- 1 rotisserie chicken
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large yellow onion peeled and diced
- 4 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 1 red bell pepper trimmed, deseeded, and diced
- 4 carrots peeled and cut into rounds
- 2 parsnips peeled and cut into rounds
- 6-7 cups of low-sodium chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon dry thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Crushed red pepper to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 16 ounces gnocchi
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup fresh parsley leaves roughly chopped

Prepare the soup base:
In a soup pot, heat the butter over medium heat until melted and frothy. Add the onion and red bell pepper and cook, stirring often, until softened and well-browned, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the shredded chicken and toss to combine. Cook until the chicken begins to brown slightly, about 4 minutes.
Pour in the chicken stock and scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom. Add the carrots and parsnips. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, paprika, and crushed red pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until the carrots and parsnips are fork tender.
