Method
 

Cooking the Soup
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  4. Add the shredded chicken and gnocchi, and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the gnocchi are tender.
  5. Stir in the spinach and heavy cream, and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  7. Serve hot with grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Notes

Allow the soup to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container for storage. Can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. When reheating, you may need to add a little extra broth or water due to gnocchi absorbing liquid. Use rotisserie chicken for quicker prep time and feel free to experiment with added vegetables or different proteins.
