Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened.
- Add broth, chicken breasts, carrots, celery, Italian seasoning, & bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove chicken and shred (or chop). Set aside.
- Meanwhile, bring the broth back to a simmer and add gnocchi. Simmer 10 minutes.
- Stir in cream, shredded chicken, and spinach. Simmer 3-4 minutes or until spinach is wilted.
- Combine cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water. Stir into the simmering broth a little at a time to reach desired consistency. You may not use all of the cornstarch.
- Discard bay leaf. Taste, season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
Notes
- To save time, while the onion and garlic is cooking chop the carrots and celery.
- Raw chicken helps to flavor the broth. Bone-in chicken (skinless) can be used and will need about 10 minutes extra cook time.
- If using cooked chicken, it can be added at the end with the spinach to heat through.
- If using homemade gnocchi, it can be a bit more delicate. Cook it separately and add it to each bowl when serving.
- If you'd like a thicker soup, increase the cornstarch.
- Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, and in the freezer for 2 months.
