Simple Chicken Gnocchi Soup

My personal take on a delicious soup loved by many. I use store bought gnocchi and rotisserie chicken to whip this up in less than 30 minutes. So quick and easy, but tastes like it should take forever.

3 cloves

1/4 cup

low sodium chicken broth

2 cups

half & half

1/4 tsp

dried thyme

1/4 tsp

1/2

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Heat a 2 quart sauce pan over medium heat. Add butter and oil. As soon as butter melts add onion and garlic. Sautée until onion is translucent, stirring often.

* Step 2

Wisk in flour. Cook 2 minutes, wisking frequently.

* Step 3

Wisk in chicken broth, half & half, thyme, celery seed, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer, wisking frequently. Simmer until thickened. About 5 minutes.

* Step 4

Stir in chicken, gnocchi, and spinach. Simmer 5 minutes more, stirring often. Taste, adjust seasoning as desired. Serve with crusty bread. Enjoy!

* Step 5

See notes below ⤵

* Step 6

Note1: This makes a hearty, thick soup. If you would like your soup a little thinner you can add up to 1 more cup of chicken broth.

* Step 7

Note2: If you want to cut some of the fat you can replace 1 cup of half & half with milk. You could go with all milk, but then it wouldn't have the same richness.
