 Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Herbs, Dairy
      Yield: 5 Servings
 
      3 tb Unsalted butter
      2 md Carrots; peeled, chopped in
           - 1/2" pieces (about 1 cup)
           +=OR=+
      8 oz Butternut squash; peeled,
           - chopped in 1/2" pieces
           - (about 1 cup)
      1 md Leek; trimmed, white & pale
           - green halved lengthwise,
           - thin sliced (about 1 cup)
      2 md Celery ribs, peeled, sliced
           - 1/2" thick (about 2/3 cup)
      3 cl Garlic; fine chopped
      1 tb Fine chopped fresh rosemary
      2 ts Fresh thyme leaves
      1 ts Poultry seasoning (opt)
           Salt & black pepper
      3 tb All-purpose flour
      5 c  Chicken stock
      1 c  Heavy cream
     16 oz Package fresh or shelf
           - stable purchased gnocchi
    1/2 sm (3 lb) rotisserie chicken;
           - skin & bones reserved for
           - other uses, meat torn in
           - bite-size pieces (about 2
           - cups shredded meat)
           Fresh tarragon, parsley or
           - dill, for garnish
 
  In a large pot, melt the butter over medium. Add the
  carrots, leek, celery, garlic, rosemary, thyme and
  poultry seasoning, if using. Season generously with salt
  and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until
  vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
  
  Sprinkle with the flour, then cook, stirring, 2 minutes.
  (This cooks the flour to soften its raw flavor.)
  Gradually stir in the stock and cream, and bring to a
  boil over high heat.
  
  Once the mixture boils, stir in the gnocchi, reduce the
  heat to medium and cook until gnocchi and vegetables are
  tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken in the last
  couple of minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  Divide among bowls and top with fresh tarragon and more
  black pepper, if desired.
