The fat is heated over medium heat and lightly fry it finely chopped onion, celery, garlic and carrots. Add chicken and chicken broth. Add spinach and once it softens, optional, add cornstarch previously dissolved in a little cold water. And put cream and / or milk and soup simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper and divided into separate portions. In a separate pan of boiling water are placed gnocchi. When you come to the surface are removed with a slotted spoon and distributed in individual portions. * As most American soup, this soup is quite thick, like stew. I think further thickening starch is not necessary. Optional, can add more broth. * If the taste of chicken broth is not strong enough, can add spices to taste, such as thyme, sage, etc. I added a little lemon juice. * The original recipe is 2 cups * Half-and-half cream * - this is half cream and half milk. I might have prepared with sour cream, but I think with yogurt will get better. Also, gnocchi are added before spinach.
