Ingredients

11/2 lb chicken breasts (boneless, skinless (or can use leftover chicken you have on hand and add in step3))
1/2 yellow onion (large, diced)
2 tsp garlic (minced)
4 cup chicken broth (Use the code COOKINGKATIELADY for 20% off Kettle & Fire organic bone broths!)
1 cup heavy whipping cream (organic)
1 tbsp corn starch
1 1/2 cup carrots (organic, shredded)
3 celery (3-4 celery sticks, chopped)
4 cups spinach (organic baby spinach)
2 tsp parsley (dried)
1 tsp thyme (dried)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
16 oz gnocchi (1 package (use gluten free i fneeded))

Instructions

1
In a large crock pot, add the chicken broth, onion, celery, carrots, garlic, spices, and chicken breasts (if using raw chicken breasts). Cook on high for 4 1/2 hours.
2
When there are 30-45 minutes left of cooking, cook your gnocchi according to your package directions. Typically, this is just simply placing the gnocchi in boiling water until they rise to the surface.
3
Remove your chicken breasts from the crock pot and shred them. Place back in the crock pot along with the cooked gnocchi. If you are using leftover precooked chicken that you have on hand, add it in here in this step with the gnocchi.
4
Next, mix the cornstarch in with the heavy whipping cream and whisk until smooth. This will help thicken the soup. Add the cream and spinach to the crock pot and stir. Allow soup to cook for the remaining time and serve immediately.
