Chicken and Gnocchi Soup

I love Chicken and Gnocchi. I love them separate, I love them together and I can't get enough Chicken and Gnocchi soup. The pillowy gnocchi (fluffy potato dumplings) are the perfect comfort food especially when paired with roasted chicken in a creamy soup.  

Ingredients:

• 1 rotisserie chicken
• 8 cups chicken broth 
• 2 cups cream
• 1 medium onion
• 3 stalks celery
• 3 cups fresh spinach
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoning Salt
• 2 boxes of gnocchi
• 3 Tablespoons butter

Prep:

1. Dice up the onion and celery and mince the garlic.  
2. Remove skin from chicken and pull chicken into bite size pieces (or chop it up with a knife if you prefer) and set aside.
3. Rough chop spinach and set aside.

Cook:

1. In a large pot, melt the butter.  
2. Add onion, celery and garlic to melted butter and saute on medium heat until onions are slightly translucent.
3. Once vegetables are sauteed, add chicken broth to pot and bring to a boil.
4. Add gnocchi to boiling chicken broth and let boil for 4-5 minutes. (Gnocchi will float to the top when ready). 
5. Add chicken to the pot.
6. Pour cream into the mix.  
7. Sprinkle in nutmeg and seasoning salt.
8. Add spinach to the pot and let simmer for ten minutes, stirring occasionally.
