Ingredients
Directions
- In a large pot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add onions, celery, and carrots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in chicken broth and deglaze, scraping up any caramelized bits on the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Add thyme sprigs and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop. Stir in half-and-half and return the soup to a simmer. Remove thyme sprigs and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add chicken and gnocchi and simmer, cooking until gnocchi is just tender according to package directions. Stir in spinach and cook until just wilted. Ladle soup into bowls and serve.
