Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 rib celery diced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 medium carrot peeled and shredded
  • 3–4 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth low sodium
  • 2 cups cooked chicken chopped or shredded
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme or 1 ½ teaspoon fresh
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound gnocchi 454g/16oz or gluten free gnocchi
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups chopped fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
  2. When the oil is hot, add celery, onion, garlic, and shredded carrot, cooking until the vegetables soften and onions turn translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits.
  4. Stir in the cooked chicken, thyme, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, then increase heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a boil.
  5. Add the gnocchi carefully and cook for 4 minutes at a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and cook for another 4 minutes.
  6. Mix in the milk and heavy cream and simmer over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until the soup slightly thickens.
  7. Toss in the chopped spinach and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve warm with optional garnishes.

Notes

  • Storage: Transfer leftovers to an airtight container
  • Keep refrigerated for 3-4 days
  • Reheat portions as needed
  • Gluten free: Use gluten free gnocchi and verify your chicken broth is free from gluten-containing ingredients (barley is the most common in broth)
  • Without heavy cream: Substitute the heavy cream and milk for 2 cups of evaporated milk or half-and-half
  • Instant Pot and Slow Cooker: See the full written post for detailed Instant Pot and Crock Pot instructions (https://dashfordinner
