Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time25 minutes
Yield: 4 -6 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • ½ cup celery, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 3-4 cups low-sodium chicken broth, see notes
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¾ cup matchstick carrots
  • 1-2 cups baby spinach leaves
  • 2 cups diced, cooked chicken breast
  • 1 (16 oz) package potato gnocchi

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a large stock pot over medium heat.
  • Add the onion and celery and saute for 5-6 minutes, until tender. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  • Add the flour and cook, stirring regularly, for 1-2 minutes, to remove the raw flour taste.
  • Slowly add the half and half and then 3 cups of the chicken broth, stirring well, and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the thyme, carrots, spinach, cooked chicken and gnocchi. Stir well and simmer for 5 minutes, until the gnocchi is cooked through. (Check your package’s instructions and adjust the timing as needed.) Add extra broth, if desired, to get the soup to your desired consistency.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Chicken broth: Start with 3 cups of broth and add more if you want to thin the soup out a bit more. I prefer ours decently thick and 3 is usually about right, but you may need up to 4 cups. I do recommend low-sodium so you can control the amount of sodium in the soup.
Leftovers: This soup is best served as soon as it's made. However, you can refrigerate leftovers, once cooled, in a covered container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat it over medium low heat on the stove, stirring regularly to make sure it heats through evenly. I don't recommend freezing this soup.
