INSTRUCTIONS

1. Melt butter in olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions and celery and sauté for 5 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and sauté 30 seconds. Sprinkle in flour and cook, while stirring, an additional 2 minutes.
2. Turn heat to low and stir in chicken broth. Whisk cornstarch with milk (you can whisk with as little as 1 cup milk, just enough so it dissolves) and add to pot. Add chicken, Dijon, bay leaves and all seasonings.
3. Increase heat to high, cover pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a gentle simmer and keep covered. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally and replacing lid, until chicken is tender enough to shred with a fork. Remove chicken to a cutting board and shred when cool enough to handle.
4. Meanwhile, add half and half to the soup and bring to a simmer. Stir in gnocchi and shredded carrots and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or just until the gnocchi are cooked. Stir in spinach and shredded chicken and heat through, approximately 1 minute.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste (I like more salt) and add additional half and half or milk if desired for a less “chunky” soup and warm through.
6. Garnish individual servings with Parmesan and fresh parsley if desired.

RECIPE NOTES

*May substitute 2 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken.  If using shredded chicken, do NOT add chicken to simmering soup, instead add it when the recipe calls for shredded chicken.

**Look for potato gnocchi in the refrigerated or frozen foods section.  If using frozen gnocchi, do NOT thaw before adding to soup.

***May sub chopped or sliced carrots and sauté them with the celery and onion.
