Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
1/2 cup carrots, peeled and finely chopped
1/3 cup onion, finely chopped
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup cottage cheese
1 pound potato gnocchi
2 cups fresh spinach
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Place the chicken breasts, chopped celery, carrots, and onions into the slow cooker.
Pour in the chicken broth and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours until chicken is tender.
Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot.
In a blender or using an immersion blender, combine the heavy cream and cottage cheese until smooth, then stir into the slow cooker.
Add the gnocchi and nutmeg to the pot, stirring well.
Cook for an additional 20 minutes on high until the gnocchi is soft.
Stir in the fresh spinach just before serving to allow it to wilt.

Notes

You can blend the cottage cheese and cream until completely smooth to ensure a silky texture. If the soup is too thick, add a little extra broth. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Customize by adding other vegetables like peas or mushrooms.
