8 tablespoons butter (divided)
1 small yellow onion (chopped)
1 cup shredded carrot
1 tablespoon minced garlic
30 ounces chicken broth ( click for homemade recipe!)
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 tablespoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 lbs boneless (skinless chicken breasts)
16 ounces DeLallo Potato Gnocchi
1/3 cup white flour
2 cups half and half
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 cups fresh baby spinach (roughly chopped)

Steps:

  • Heat a large stock pot or dutch oven over medium high heat. 3 tablespoons butter until just melted.

  • While chicken is cooking, heat remaining butter in a small sauce pan. Once melted, stir in the flour briskly with a whisk.
  • Pour in the half and half, whisking while you pour. Once fully combined and smooth, allow to simmer to 3 minutes or until thickened. Whisk often.
  • Stir in the parmesan cheese until combined. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream, whisking with your hand until smooth. Set aside.
  • Once chicken has been removed from the broth, add in the 16 ounces potato gnocchi. Allow to simmer, covered, for 5-7 minutes or until gnocchi rises to the top and is done.
  • Stir the cream mixture into the broth/gnocchi mixture.
  • Cube the cooked chicken and return to the soup, along with the spinach. Heat until warmed to your liking, but do not allow to come to a boil.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 bone-in chicken thighs, or more to taste
4 cups finely chopped carrots
3 cups half-and-half
3 cups chicken stock
3 cups water

Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add gnocchi and Parmesan cheese. Reduce heat to medium heat. Let simmer, stirring frequently, until flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Stir in spinach; cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.
