🌿 3 Celery stalks diced
🧄 4 Garlic cloves minced
🍗 2 teaspoons Chicken bouillon powder
⚫ 1 teaspoon Black pepper
🌶️ 1 teaspoon Paprika
🧄 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
🌾 1/4 cup Flour
🍗 4 cups Best Choice Organic Chicken Stock
🌿 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
🥛 1 cup Heavy cream
🥛 1 cup Milk
🍠 1 package Potato gnocchi 16oz
🧀 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese plus extra for serving
🥬 1 pound Spinach

Instructions

1- Melt Butter and Sauté Vegetables:

• In a large Dutch oven or pot, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
• Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, sautéing for about 5 minutes until they are softened.

2- Add Aromatics and Spices:

• Stir in the minced garlic, chicken bouillon powder, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
• Cook for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld.

3- Incorporate Flour:

• Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables.
• Stir continuously for about 2 minutes, until the flour turns a light golden color, forming a roux.

4- Add Stock and Simmer:

• Gradually pour in the Best Choice Organic Chicken Stock, stirring to prevent lumps.
• Add the fresh thyme and shredded rotisserie chicken, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil with the lid on.

5- Incorporate Dairy and Gnocchi:

• Stir in the heavy cream, milk, and package of potato gnocchi.
• Continue to cook for 5–10 minutes, stirring often, until the gnocchi is cooked through and floats to the top, and the soup starts to thicken.

6- Finish with Cheese and Spinach:

• Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and spinach.
• Simmer for about 1 minute until the spinach is wilted and cheese is melted into the soup.
