    Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook carrots, celery, onion, and garlic in hot oil until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in cubed chicken and chicken broth; bring to a simmer.

    Stir gnocchi into soup and cook until they begin to float, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes.

    Cook’s Note

    This soup is a great use of leftover chicken. But in my case, I cook chicken tenders seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven until done, 20 to 30 minutes.

    You can find gnocchi in the pasta section of your grocery store.
