Chicken gnocchi stew

 2 stalks of celery

1 small onion 

1 large carrot

Dice these ingredients and put in a soup pot

2 chicken breast chopped 


Saute these ingredients with 1 tbsp of oil. Once vegetables are tender, add 1 tbsp of butter melt in pot. Add two tablespoons of flour stir to incorporate flour. 

Add 8 cups of chicken broth,  I have used homemade turkey broth also

Add 1/2 tsp garlic salt, 1/2 tsp of dried oregano,  1 tsp basil, and pepper 

Stir and scrape bottom of pot to lift flour. Bring to a boil , lower to simmer.  Let cook 15 mins 

Add 1 can of coconut milk  400ml

Add gnocchi to pot 500grams 

I use 2 frozen balls of spinach, but you could use baby spinach or chopped frozen kale.

Cook 10 minutes with spinach and let sit for another 10 minutes.  The gnocchi keeps cooking and it will help thicken the stew.   Adjust seasoning if needed.
