Ingredients

1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery
1 small onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp dried basil
¼ tsp paprika
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 cups baby spinach
16 oz potato gnocchi (shelf-stable or refrigerated)

Instructions

Load the Crockpot: Add chicken, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and seasonings. Pour in chicken broth and stir to combine.
Cook the Base: Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours until chicken is tender.
Shred the Chicken: Remove and shred with forks, then return to the crockpot.
Make it Creamy: In a bowl, whisk heavy cream with cornstarch. Stir into the soup with gnocchi.
Finish Cooking: Cover and cook on high for 30–45 minutes until gnocchi is tender and soup thickens.
Add Spinach: Stir in baby spinach and let it wilt for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Serve: Ladle into bowls and enjoy warm with crusty bread or salad.

Notes

Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Add broth or cream when reheating.
Freezing Tip: Freeze the base without gnocchi; add fresh gnocchi when reheating.
Customization: Substitute spinach with kale, add mushrooms, or use gluten-free gnocchi if desired.
Pro Tip: Use full-fat cream for the richest texture and flavor.
