-One egg.
-2 + cups of All Purpose Flour
-salt (opt.)
Detailed instructions with photos!
Recipe for Nioquis Soup: (see instructions below)
-1 to 2 chicken breasts (I like less chicken in mine. It's Nioquis Soup, Not Chicken Soup.)
-2 cans cream of chicken soup
-1 can cream of asparagus soup
-1/2 cup Plain yogurt or sour cream (opt.- it tastes fine without it but I like it in better.)
-2 to 3 Tbs. minced onion (whatever you like)
-2 chicken bullion cubes (opt.)
-2 Roma tomatoes diced (or a large tomato- you really can't put too much tomato in.)
-2 to 3 huge handfuls fresh spinach leaves (don't use frozen- it doesn't taste half as good.)
-small bunch of fresh basil leaves chopped (about a fistful when chopped.)
-fresh ground pepper to taste
-fresh lemon to taste
-apx 3 cups water (may add more to keep good consistency.)
Just Boil the water, throw in the chicken breast, minced onion and bullion cubes till chicken's done. Remove chicken and dice, then put it back in the broth. At this point you can throw in the nioquis and boil 2-3 minutes till they rise to the surface. (If the nioquis are already pre-made, just throw them in and keep going.) Add the soups, yogurt, and some ground pepper. (Make sure to stir quickly for the yogurt not to curdle.) Let soup simmer for a couple minutes. Then add the fresh spinach, basil and tomatoes. Cover and simmer a couple more minutes till the spinach leaves are soft. Just before serving, add a splash of lemon (to taste) and top each bowl with some yummy, ground, black pepper and EAT IT!

Just so everyone knows... I DO know how to spell "Gnocchi"... but since I learned this recipe in Argentina, and they are very phonitic with their spelling, I always spell it "Nioqui" to remember it's origin for me!!!
