Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Add the gnocchi to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the gnocchi floats to the top, indicating it is fully cooked.

Step 7

Stir in the shredded chicken, baby spinach, heavy cream, dried thyme, and dried parsley. Simmer the soup for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
