Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (diced)
  • 1 package (16 oz) potato gnocchi
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 medium carrots (diced)
  • 2 celery stalks (diced)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (chopped)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook gnocchi: Boil gnocchi according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté vegetables: In large pot, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook 5-6 minutes until softened.
  3. Make roux: Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir 1 minute to cook out raw flour taste.
  4. Add liquids: Gradually whisk in chicken broth until smooth. Bring to simmer.
  5. Cook chicken: Add diced chicken to pot. Simmer 8-10 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  6. Finish soup: Stir in cooked gnocchi, spinach, cream, thyme, rosemary, and nutmeg. Simmer 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Season: Add Parmesan cheese. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For thicker soup, mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water and stir in at the end
  • Substitute half-and-half for heavy cream for lighter version
  • Add 1 cup sliced mushrooms with the vegetables for extra umami
  • Garnish with extra Parmesan and fresh parsley
  • Leftovers thicken when chilled – thin with broth when reheating
