Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb potato gnocchi
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups spinach, fresh
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced carrots and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the cooked chicken and the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Stir in the potato gnocchi and cook according to package instructions (usually about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Once the gnocchi are cooked, reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream and spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt.
  6. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with additional spinach or a sprinkle of cheese if desired.

Notes

Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it on the stove over low heat until hot. Use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken to save time. To add more veggies, consider peas or corn.
