Preparation

  1. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and sauté until tender, about 6 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and chicken and toss to incorporate, then pour in the chicken stock and season with the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes, until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the half-and-half and gnocchi and cook for 2 minutes, until beginning to thicken slightly.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 3 minutes, until the soup has thickened. Stir in the spinach, then remove the pot from the heat.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the Parmesan cheese, then serve immediately.
  7. Enjoy!
