2 cups fresh spinach (or kale or Swiss chard)

1 onion, chopped (or shallots)
2 cloves garlic, minced (or garlic powder)

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until they’re softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add Garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Incorporate Chicken and Broth: Add shredded chicken and pour in chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Add Gnocchi: Once boiling, add the gnocchi and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until they float to the top.
Stir in Spinach: Add fresh spinach and continue to simmer until the spinach is wilted and tender.
Create Creamy Base: Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Allow to heat through for another 2 minutes.
