1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
1 pound potato gnocchi
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrots, and cook until softened.
2. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well to form a paste. Cook for 2 minutes.
4. Gradually pour in chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer.
5. Add shredded chicken and gnocchi, and cook until gnocchi are tender.
6. Stir in heavy cream and spinach and cook until spinach wilts.

Notes
Use rotisserie chicken to save time and boost flavor.
Avoid boiling after adding cream to prevent curdling.
Add extra broth when reheating as gnocchi absorb liquid.
