Ingredients
  

1 pound chicken breast, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium carrots, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

4 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 pound potato gnocchi

2 cups fresh spinach (or kale)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Chicken: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and cook until browned on the outside, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

    Cook the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the minced garlic, thyme, and oregano. Cook for an additional minute until the garlic is fragrant.

      Add Broth and Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.

        Incorporate Gnocchi: Stir in the potato gnocchi and simmer for another 3-4 minutes until they float to the top, indicating that they are cooked.

          Make it Creamy: Lower the heat, and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Let the soup heat through without boiling. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

            Season and Serve: Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as needed. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.

              Enjoy: Serve hot with crusty bread on the side for an even heartier meal!
