Instructions

  • Heat the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and shredded carrots and cook for 4–5 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme and cook for 1 more minute, until fragrant.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, then stir to combine and cook for 1 minute.
  • Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking to combine. Then, add the milk and chicken pieces and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Add the gnocchi and cook for 5–7 minutes, until tender and floating to the top.
  • Stir in the spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes, until wilted.
  • Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • My Top Tip: Cut the chicken into even pieces. It's easier to eat when everything is about the same size. Flatten the chicken with a meat mallet first if needed.
  • Storage: Store the chicken gnocchi soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a little water or broth as needed to loosen the soup. Freezing is not recommended.
