Instructions
In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the onion, carrots and celery, and saute until the onions are translucent.
While your veggies cook, boil the gnocchi according to package instructions, drain it, and set it aside.
When the vegetables are cooked through, add in the garlic and saute for just a couple of minutes.
Stir in the flour, and let it cook for about a minute before adding the chicken broth and milk to the pot, stirring well. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to get any stuck-on goodies mixed in.
Raise the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring regularly. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low to keep it at a simmer, and add in the seasonings, chicken, spinach, gnocchi and corn starch mixture. Stir well, and keep stirring occasionally until all the ingredients are heated through and the soup is just slightly thickened.
