Recipe type: Soup
Ingredients
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 2 tsp. garlic, minced
  • 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 4 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 ½ cups chicken, cooked and diced or shredded (whichever you prefer)
  • 1 quart half & half
  • 14 oz. chicken broth
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼- ½ tsp. ground thyme (it’s a strong spice---start with less & add more to desired taste)
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)
  • 16 oz. homemade or prepackaged gnocchi
  • 1 cup spinach, roughly chopped
Instructions
  1. In a large pot (I used and enamel Dutch oven) over medium-high heat add butter, oil, garlic, carrots, onion and celery; sauté, stirring frequently until veggies are tender and onions are transparent (about 15 minutes).
  2. Add flour, stir and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
  3. Add half & half and stir until it begins to thicken then add the chicken broth and continue to stir frequently until it thickens again.
  4. Meanwhile in a large pot bring 2 quarts of water to a boil and cook gnocchi for 2-3 minutes. They are finished cooking when they float to the top of the pot.
  5. Add the cooked gnocchi, chicken, spinach and seasonings to the pot; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  6. Serve & enjoy!
