Ingredients
  

  • 1 med onion chopped
  • 3 large garlic cloves minced
  • 2 cups carrots shredded or matchsticks
  • 2 cups baby spinach fresh
  • ¼ cup butter unsalted
  • ⅓ cup cooking white wine
  • 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 32 oz chicken stock low sodium
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breasts
  • 1 lb gnocchi
  • salt and pepper
  • olive oil

Instructions
 

  • In a large, deep pot, drizzle olive oil over the bottom of the pot approximately 2 tbsp. Add in the diced onion and stir until the onion begins to brown. Add in the minced garlic cloves and stir again for a minute or two.
  • Add in the baby spinach. I like to coursly chop the spinach so there aren’t giant chunks when the soup is finished. You can use frozen spinach, but be sure to defrost and squeeze the liquid out of it before adding to the pot. Add in the carrots and stir to combine for a minute or two.
  • Add in the butter and let melt. You are going to create a rue so the soup will be creamy and thick. When the butter has melted, add in the flour and stir until the butter has combined with the flour.
  • Now add the cooking white wine and stir to help get the bits of the vegetables off the bottom of the pot. Then add in the chicken, I like to use rotisserie chicken, the chicken stock, and the half and half. Stir to combine. Let simmer for 5 minutes or so so the liquid can thicken. Stir occasionally.
  • Depending on the gnocchi you use, add it to the soup mixture and cook according to the packaging. Gnocchi, unless it is frozen, doesn’t take long to cook. If it is prepackaged and not frozen it only takes 5-7 minutes for the gnocchi to cook. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to a week in the refrigerator.
