Creamy Turkey Gnocchi Soup
Ingredients:
1/4 c. butter
1 medium onion, diced
1 Tbsp. garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
2 + 1/2 c. chicken broth
2 c. half & half
2 c. cooked turkey breast, shredded
2 c. fresh baby spinach
1 pkg. (16-18 oz.) potato gnocchi
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
Preparation:
In a large pot or 4-qt. Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat until it starts to bubble, about 1 minute. Add onion, garlic, and carrots and sauté until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add flour and stir well until evenly combined and thickened into a paste, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in broth and half and half. Mix well until smooth and bring the mixture to a boil, about 6-8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add turkey, spinach, and gnocchi, and season with Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Let soup simmer until gnocchi is cooked through according to package instructions, about 2-3 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep gnocchi from sticking to bottom of the pot. Ladle soup into bowls and serve immediately.
