Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon regular olive oil
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- ¾ cup shredded carrots
- ½ cup thinly-sliced celery
- 2 large garlic cloves minced
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 2 cups half-and-half warmed
- 1 to 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 pound potato gnocchi
- ½ to ¾ cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded or cubed
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves roughly torn
- ⅛ teaspoon grated nutmeg
- Diamond Crystal kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer, cooking for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually add the chicken stock while stirring, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer.
- Stir in the warmed half-and-half, thyme, Italian seasoning, and nutmeg. Allow the soup to heat through for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, usually about 2-4 minutes, until they float to the top.
- Fold in the cooked chicken and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Notes
For a lighter version, you can substitute half-and-half with whole milk. Adjust the amount of chicken and vegetables based on your preference.
