A one-pot meal that's ready in under 40 minutes. Filled with plump gnocchi and shredded chicken in a thick creamy tomato soup, which gets its amazing flavour from tomato pesto. There is no need to add flour to thicken this soup, the gnocchi will do that as it cooks. This is both perfect for time-poor evenings and when the budget is tight. I don't add any salt as I feel the pesto and stock have enough.
