Equipment

Large Dutch Oven or Stock Pot

Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter unsalted
1/2 onion diced
2 carrots peeled and diced
3 celery stalks peeled and diced with leaves if possible
3 garlic cloves minced
3/4 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken broth
1 pound potato gnocchi
2 cups heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Sauté the Veggies. Heat the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, celery, and onion, and sauté until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
4 tablespoons butter, 1/2 onion, 2 carrots, 3 celery stalks
Add the Garlic. Toss in the garlic and sauté just until aromatic, about 1 minute.
3 garlic cloves
Pour in the Wine. Slowly pour in about half of the wine to deglaze the pot, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom and sides. Add the remaining wine and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.
3/4 cup dry white wine
Add the Flour. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until evenly coated. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste.
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Add the Chicken Broth and Simmer. Pour in the chicken broth and vigorously whisk to combine the flour and broth. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, whisking occasionally.
6 cups chicken broth
Cook the Gnocchi. Add the gnocchi and cook until tender, about 3 minutes.
1 pound potato gnocchi
Pour in the Cream. Turn off the heat and immediately pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine.
2 cups heavy cream
Wilt the Spinach. Add the spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts.
Enjoy! Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm. The soup will continue to thicken as it cools.

Notes

For a slightly thicker soup, reduce the chicken broth to 4 cups. Keep in mind the soup will thicken as it cools.
When deglazing the pot, pour the wine in slowly and carefully to loosen the brown bits without splashing.
Turning off the heat before adding the cream will prevent the cream from boiling or curdling.
Stir gently after adding the gnocchi to keep them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
