Description

Inspired by Olive Garden and chilly afternoons.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (18 Oz Size) Gnochhi
  • 4 Tablespoons Butter
  • 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • ½  Onion, Diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • ¼ cups Flour
  • 1 quart Half-and-half
  • 1 cup Cooked Chicken Breast, Cubed
  • 1-⅔ cup Chicken Broth
  • 1 cup Fresh Spinach, Coarsely Chopped
  • ½ teaspoons Dried Thyme
  • 1 dash Salt And Pepper

Preparation

Cook the gnocchi according to the directions on the package. Drain and set aside.

Heat the butter and olive oil in a medium sized pot over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add the flour, mix and combine completely to form a roux. Cook for a minute or two until the roux starts to brown then add the half-and-half and bring the heat down to medium-low heat, stirring constantly.

Once the soup begins to thicken (after about 10 minutes), add the chicken, chicken broth, spinach, seasonings and cooked gnocchi. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes, stirring often. Serve immediately.

Made this according to recipe and it was pretty good! However, I’m a bit of a glutton and would make a few changes. The creamy broth was tasty, but I think I would use heavy cream or a combination of heavy cream and half and half next time, as it seemed a little thin, despite letting it thicken longer than the recommended time. I also would use more gnocchi, as both me and my boyfriend felt it could’ve used more. Otherwise a great basis for a tasty soup! The thyme was a perfect flavor for this.
