"Recipe" for what I just did:

One Le Creuset 4 qt soup pot
Turn to medium-high heat
2 tablespoons olive oil
Dump in chopped up onion, celery, and carrots (my grocery store sells these in a nice package)
Stir around and let them hang out with the oil for a while (5 minutes? Ish?)
Smoked paprika and mudflats
Add two chicken breasts, chopped small
One 32 ounce thing of turkey broth
One tablespoon chicken better than boullion
Add season salt and lemon pepper
Cover and let cook on medium heat for the next 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, make your gnocchi according to package. (In this gluten-free household, we use CoraBella's gluten free gnocchi. A lot.)

As soon as the gnocchi and the soup are both done, drain the gnocchi and add it to the soup. Mix well, serve.

From start to us finishing up eating, this took less than an hour.

That sounds wonderful... except that I can't figure out "mudflats." Is this a typo? I only know that word in the context of a land/water feature, not food. Does it have another meaning?

I was going to link to the spice blend in question, but I can't pull it up for some reason. Basically, it's dutched cocoa, sea salt and brown sugar. Originally meant as popcorn seasoning. Used in our house for back notes in a lot of savory stuff.

This looks amazing and I instantly want to make it for lunch. What proportions would you roughly use for that, do you think? Tablespoon cocoa, teaspoon brown sugar, half a teaspoon salt?

[killing_rose]

That sounds about right. I'd go to 3/4 teaspoon of salt even, and (having consulted my bottle of mud-flats) there's also cane sugar in it, so a half a teaspoon of the cane sugar to add to your proportions.

She means this stuff, which is delectable. http://www.summitspiceandtea.com/spice/house-blends/mud-flats.html

Thank you. When I couldn't find, I was *really* concerned they weren't making it anymore.

[ilyena_sylph]

It took a bit of doing, but I did find. You're welcome, dear one.

well I made it (except with dumplings instead of gnocchi and a couple other variations but *basically* this) and it's effing delicious. Thank you for the inspiration!

No problem! Ours is a Very Southern Household and we'd been discussing gnocchi to replace dumplings (because autoimmune disorders don't care about your cultural foods), so I am incredibly amused you went in the direction of the actual idea I riffed off of!

we-elll, I didn't have gnocchi and I would have had to get off my ass and walk to the grocers to get it, so ... :P
