Add chopped celery, onion, garlic, and carrots. Saut&eacute; until onions are translucent. Add chicken, chicken broth, thyme. Bring to boil and add gnocchi. Boil 3-4 minutes longer, then reduce heat to simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the cream and chopped kale, cook until kale is tender. Add salt &#038; pepper to taste. Serve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We used pre-made gnocchi, which came in a 16-ounce bag, perfect for this recipe. Some recipes call for chopped spinach, but Ditalini thought kale would hold up better in a soup and she was right. Some recipes call for half &#038; half cream, but Ditalini uses a mixture of heavy and half &#038; half for a richer, more chowder-like soup. If you don&#8217;t like black specks in a white soup, use white pepper.<br \/>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A rich and hearty soup.
