Equipment

  • dutch oven
  • cutting board
  • chef's knife
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups carrot diced
  • 1 ½ cups onion diced
  • 1 ½ cups celery diced
  • 5 tablespoon butter
  • 5 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 5 cups chicken broth warmed
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ tsp dried rosemary
  • 3-4 cups cooked chicken diced
  • 1 (16 oz pkg) gnocchi
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • 6 oz spinach, optional
  • juice of ½ - 1 lemon to your taste
  • kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Sauté carrots, onion, and celery in butter until softened. Add flour, whisking to eliminate lumps. Cook just a couple of minutes to remove raw flour taste.
  • Slowly incorporate the broth while continuing to whisk. Add in herbs. Simmer 15-20 minutes.
  • Add in the chicken. Increase heat slightly to a low boil. Add gnocchi and cook until they begin to float - about 2 minutes.
  • Turn off heat. Stir in heavy cream and optional spinach. Finish with a healthy squeeze of lemon juice. Salt and pepper, to taste. Enjoy!
