Cream of Chicken and Gnocchi Soup

Step 1
Melt margarine in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion, celery, carrot, and garlic in hot margarine until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir flour into vegetable mixture; cook and stir until vegetables are evenly coated and flour is fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 2
Pour chicken broth, half-and-half, and milk over vegetable mixture; cook and stir until mixture thickens and comes to a boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat and stir in gnocchi, chicken, and spinach; season with rosemary, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Cook soup over low heat until gnocchi is tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
