Petunjuk

In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions, celery, and carrots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Pour in chicken broth and deglaze, scraping up any caramelized bits on the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Add thyme sprigs and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low and simmer 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop. Stir in half-and-half and return soup to a simmer. Remove thyme sprigs and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Add chicken and gnocchi and simmer, cooking until gnocchi are just tender according to package directions. Stir in spinach and cook until just wilted. Ladle soup into bowls and serve.
