1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (16-ounce) package potato gnocchi

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil.
Add shredded cooked chicken, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the gnocchi to the pot and cook according to package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes, until they float to the surface.
Stir in chopped kale and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until kale is wilted and tender.
Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream. Heat through without boiling, about 2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot.
