Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion (diced)
- 2 medium carrots (finely diced or shredded)
- 2 celery ribs (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (plus more to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup flour
- 4 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 ½ cups cooked chicken (thighs, breasts, or rotisserie, cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 1 16 oz. package gnocchi
- 2 cups baby spinach (roughly chopped)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent, about 7–9 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the Italian seasoning, thyme, seasoned salt, kosher salt, pepper, and oregano, and stir to combine. Add the butter and stir until melted.
- Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to create a light roux. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly, then add the cooked chicken. Bring the soup to a gentle boil.
- Add the gnocchi and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until they float and are tender. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 8–10 minutes, allowing the soup to thicken slightly.
- Stir in the half-and-half and spinach. Cook for 1–2 minutes, just until the spinach is wilted and the soup is heated through. Taste and adjust with additional salt and pepper as needed, then serve
warm.
