Instructions
Preheat oven to 325F. In a large dutch oven over medium heat, melt butter and vigorously stir in flour. Add in celery and carrots, onion garlic and stir frequently for about 4 minutes total.
Pour and stir in broth until broth is fully mixed into the mixture and you don't see any bits of flour. Add in chicken, thyme, parsley salt and pepper. If more liquid is desired add water.
Bring to a boil, cover then place in the oven for 45 minutes up to 2 hours if desired. The longer the cook the more flavorful and tender the chicken will become.
Remove from the oven, and add gnocchi. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
