- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt and pepper

5. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

9. Pour the cream into the pot and let the soup warm and thicken.
10. Add the spinach and stir.

## Equipment

- large soup pot
- 2-cup measuring cup

## Tips

- If you plan on having leftovers, cook the gnocchi separately and add them to your bowls.
- Instead of using gnocchi, you can add pasta (short shapes like macaroni, fusilli, and penne work best).
- Add frozen peas and corn at the end of cooking.
- Add some diced potatoes.
- Use mild Italian sausage instead of the chicken.
- Use leftover cooked chicken.
- Soup will keep for 3-4 days in the fridge; gnocchi will get very soft if cooked in advance.
