Ingredients
1 cup chicken breast, cooked and diced (may use rotisserie chicken)4 tablespoons butter4 tablespoons flour1 qt skim milk14 ounces chicken broth1/2 cup celery, diced2 garlic cloves1 cup diced carrots1 cup diced onion1 cup coarsely chopped spinach1/2 tsp thyme1/2 tsp parsley1 lb potato gnocchi
Sauté the onion, celery, and garlic in the butter , over medium heat when the onion becomes translucent, add the flour, and make a roux, let the butter and flour mixture cook for about a minute before adding 1 quart of skim milk.
Cook gnocchi according to package directions.
Into the roux add in the carrots and chicken. Once the mixture becomes thick add the chicken broth. Once the mixture thickens again, add the cooked gnocchi, spinach, and seasonings, simmer until soup is heated through.
Comments about this recipe: You can add more chicken if you like. While you could use left over cooked chicken breasts, I really think using the rotisserie chicken that are found in many grocery stores is the best way to get the optimal flavor of this soup.
