Chicken Gnocchi Soup

1/3 cup butter
2 cloves of minced garlic
1 lb. chicken cubed or large chunks
1/3 cup flour
1/2 carrot shredded
1 stick of celery shredded
1/4 cup onion shredded
1/2 cup fresh spinach torn in pieces (optional)
2 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
3 chicken bullion cubes
Cracked pepper to taste
17.6 oz. of Gnocchi (I found mine in the pasta aisle at Walmart)

On medium heat melt butter in a soup pot, add in the garlic and sautee. Add your chicken and cook through out. Add flour and mix well until the flour is cooked into the chicken. Next, add your milk and heavy cream. Then add the veggies(Carrots, Celery, Onion, Spinach). Add bullion cubes. Add your Gnocchi last, it takes 3-4 min. to cook throughout. Continue cooking until soup thickens, stirring occasionally. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
