Sauté the onion, celery, and garlic in the butter and olive oil, over medium heat when the onion becomes translucent, add the flour, and make a roux, let the butter and flour mixture cook for about a minute before adding half and half.
Cook gnocchi according to package directions.
Into the roux add in the carrots and chicken. Once the mixture becomes thick add the chicken broth. Once the mixture thickens again, add the cooked gnocchi, spinach, and seasonings, simmer until soup is heated through.
Enjoy!

That sounds so good Neely! I'm definitely trying it. How are your last few weeks of pregnancy going? I
I've made this twice now, both times delish! The first time I followed the recipe as normal and it was TASTY! The second time, I tried to make it a little more healthy, so I added mushrooms, substituted wild rice instead of gnocci, used 1% milk, and used cornstarch to thicken it instead of the butter-flour mixture. Yum! Love this recipe.
