Ingredients

For the Soup:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 package (16 oz) gnocchi
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • to taste salt
  • to taste black pepper

For Serving:

  • grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the dried thyme and basil, then pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer, and add the shredded chicken and gnocchi. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the gnocchi float to the top and are tender.
  5. Stir in the fresh spinach and heavy cream, cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can sauté the garlic with a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, feel free to add more heavy cream or reduce the amount of chicken broth.
  • Leftover soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stove.
