  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 16 oz potato gnocchi
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil and butter. Sauté onion, garlic, carrots, and celery until softened.
  2. Add Seasonings: Stir in thyme, basil, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Prepare Broth: Whisk in chicken broth until smooth, then add milk and cream. Simmer gently.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken works well as a time-saving option.
  • For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • Add extra broth for a thinner consistency, if desired.
