Ingredients

1 large onion diced
3 medium carrots diced
3 stalks celery diced
4 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon celery seed
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 tablespoon fresh thyme minced
1½ pounds chicken thighs boneless, skinless
4 cups chicken broth low sodium
1½ cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 cups spinach fresh
16 ounces gnocchi

Garnish

parmesan freshly grated
fresh thyme

Instructions

Add onion, carrots, celery, garlic, salt, pepper, celery seed, dried basil, and thyme to a large slow cooker and toss to combine.
Add chicken thighs and chicken broth, then stir well. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are tender.
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred or chop on a cutting board. Set aside.
Stir heavy cream into the soup. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch into ¼ cup of hot broth until smooth, then stir the slurry into the soup to thicken.
Add the spinach, shredded chicken, and gnocchi. Stir gently to combine and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the gnocchi is tender and floating.
Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot with freshly grated parmesan and fresh thyme.
