Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 medium carrots diced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pound cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 16-ounce package potato gnocchi
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Add the dried thyme, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Once boiling, add the shredded chicken and potato gnocchi. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the gnocchi float to the top.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and fresh spinach. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
