Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Add the cubed chicken to the pot. Cook, stirring, until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside.
3. Pour in the chicken broth. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
4. Stir in the heavy cream until fully incorporated. Add the baby spinach to the pot. Stir gently until the spinach wilts, which should only take a minute or two.
5. Add the store-bought gnocchi to the soup. Cook according to package directions, which is typically just a few minutes until they float to the surface.
6. Before serving, taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave, stirring occasionally. The gnocchi may soften further upon refrigeration.
