Ingredients

  • 1 package (16 oz) potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced or diced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until vegetables are softened, about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  3. Sprinkle in the flour and stir continuously for 1 minute to form a light roux.
  4. Slowly whisk in the broth, ensuring no lumps remain. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the top and become tender, about 4–5 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat and stir in the cream, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
  7. Add fresh spinach and let it wilt for 2–3 minutes.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Stir in shredded chicken for added protein.
  • Substitute spinach with kale for a heartier green.
  • Use a dairy-free cream alternative for a lighter version.
  • Add nutmeg or a splash of white wine for extra depth of flavor.
  • Reheat gently with added broth or water if soup thickens in the fridge.
