In your soup pot put olive oil. Add chicken (dark meat is my preferred) I did four thighs. season to your hearts content. I use salt pepper poultry seasoning and Italian seasoning.
Cook till you get some browning
Put in half to whole onion (as much as you like)
Three cloves of garlic, cup of carrots and cup of celery into the pan once the chicken is cooked.
Let the them soften with the chicken in the pan. Like 5-7 minutes.
Season more
Add two boxes of chicken broth. Bring to boil and let simmer for four minutes.
Add a package on gnocchi, cook with lid on until they float.
Put in one bottle of heavy cream and one cup chopped frozen spinach
Season again
Cook for another few minutes or longer
Serve with parm reggiano
If desired: Add red peppers for heat.
