Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium carrots, diced

2 stalks celery, diced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

4 cups chicken broth

1 cup whole milk or heavy cream

1 pound potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic, carrots, and celery, cooking for another 5 minutes until the vegetables soften.

    Spice It Up: Sprinkle in the dried thyme, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using), mixing well for about a minute to release the flavors.

      Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken breasts to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside.

        Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

          Creamy Base: Stir in the whole milk or heavy cream, and bring the soup back to a gentle simmer. (If you prefer a thicker soup, you can replace some of the milk with a cornstarch slurry made from 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water.)

            Gnocchi Time: Add the potato gnocchi to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the top.

              Add Fresh Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach and let it wilt for about 2 minutes.

                Final Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.

                  Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and top with grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy warm!
