1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 medium onion chopped
2 sticks celery chopped
3 medium carrots sliced or chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
7 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
4 cups chicken broth or stock
1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 cups cooked chicken
1 pound potato gnocchi
1 cup heavy/whipping cream, half & half, or milk (in order of thickness)
2 cups fresh baby kale or spinach, packed
Add the oil and butter to a large soup pot over medium-high heat.
Add the onion, celery, and carrots to the pot. Sauté for 8-10 minutes with the lid slightly ajar. Stir once or twice during this time.
Add the garlic and mushrooms to the pot and cook for a few minutes.
Stir in the chicken broth, water, Italian seasoning, chicken, and gnocchi. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
Stir in the cream and spinach. Cook for a few more minutes until the spinach is wilted and the soup is heated through.
Season with salt & pepper as needed and serve.
The longer you cook/leave the soup to sit, the more it'll thicken up because the gnocchi will release starch.
