Ingredients
- 300 g Leftover cooked chicken roughly chopped/ shredded
- 40 g salted butter
- 1 leek sliced
- 4 garlic cloves crushed/minced
- 100 g baby spinach leaves
- ¼ cup plain/all purpose flour
- 2 cups milk full cream
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 large carrot grated
- 500 g packet ready-made fresh gnocchi from the refrigerator section
- salt & pepper
- grated fresh parmesan cheese to serve
Instructions
- In a large heavy-based pot or dutch oven, heat butter and fry leek over medium low heat for 5 mins or until soft. Add garlic and fry for 30 seconds.
- Add flour to butter/leek mixture in pot and cook, stirring for 2-3 mins or until butter/flour mixture becomes grainy and frothy. Remove from heat.
- Add stock to flour mixture gradually (about ¼ cup at a time) making sure that stock is fully incorporated and mixture is lump free before each new addition. Once this process is finished, mix in milk & grated carrot and bring to a simmer.
- Simmer for 5 mins, or until carrot is almost cooked when tested.
- Then add chicken, spinach & gnocchi (uncooked) to pot and mix to combine. Bring to a simmer, and continue to simmer until gnocchi is tender and cooked - this should only be a few minutes once simmering.
- Taste test for salt and pepper, then serve with fresh grated parmesan.

Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- For the grated carrot I just use a good-old stock-standard box style metal grater, on the side with the biggest holes.
- You will know when the gnocchi is cooked because it will float to the top of the soup.
