Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ cup margarine
¾ cup finely chopped onion
¾ cup finely chopped celery
½ cup finely grated carrot
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken broth
¾ cup half-and-half
¾ cup milk
1 (16 ounce) package potato gnocchi
1 ½ cups chopped cooked chicken
¾ cup shredded fresh spinach
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion, celery, carrot, and garlic until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir flour into vegetable mixture; cook and stir until vegetables are evenly coated and flour is fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Pour chicken broth, half-and-half, and milk over vegetable mixture; cook and stir until mixture thickens and comes to a boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat and stir gnocchi, chicken, and spinach into broth mixture; season with rosemary, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Cook soup over low heat until gnocchi become tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

The gnocchi were a bit too soft for my liking, but the soup was still very good. I'll try cooking the gnocchi for a shorter amount of time next time.

This soup was a hit with my family! The gnocchi were soft and pillowy, and the creamy chicken sauce was flavorful and comforting. I added a bit of extra garlic and thyme, and it turned out perfect.
