Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
1 medium onion, diced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups vegetable or poultry broth
2 cups heavy cream or half-and-half
2 cups turkey breast, cooked and shredded
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1 (17.5-ounce) package potato gnocchi
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

Directions

Step 1 -In a large pot or a 4-quart Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium-high heat until it starts to bubble, about 1 minute.

Step 2 -Add the onion, the garlic, and the carrots, and sauté until tender, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3 -Add the flour to the veggie mixture and stir well until evenly combined and thickened into a paste, about 1 minute.

Step 4 -Slowly stir the broth and the heavy cream into the veggie mixture, mixing well until smooth and bring the mixture to a boil, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 5 -Reduce the heat to medium.

Step 6 -Add the turkey, the spinach, the gnocchi, the Italian seasoning, the salt, and the pepper to the soup mixture.

Step 7 -Let the soup simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom of the pot, until the gnocchi is cooked through according to package directions, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8 -Ladle the soup into bowls and serve.
