Instructions

Instant Pot Instructions

In a bowl mix together the milk and corn starch, whisking until incorporated. Set aside, but whisk before adding into the soup at a later time.
Select the Saute setting on a
6 quart Instant Pot and pour in the olive oil, then add in the diced carrots, celery and onion and stir occasionally for 3 minutes, then add in garlic, basil, salt and thyme and stir, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Add in the chicken broth, milk and cornstarch mixture, chicken breast, potato gnocchi and spinach and stir to combine, scraping down the sides of the pot.
Secure the lid and set the pressure release to Sealing. Press the Cancel button to reset the cooking program, then select the Stew or Poultry setting and set the cooking time for 8 minutes at high pressure.
When the timer goes off, turn the valve from Sealing to Venting to release the pressure. This will make a hissing sound and the steam will come out which takes a few minutes. When it is done releasing steam, open the lid and stir.

Slow cooker instructions

In a bowl mix together the milk and corn starch, whisking until incorporated. Set aside, but whisk before adding into the soup at a later time.
In a large pan on the stove on medium high pour in the olive oil, then add in the diced carrots, celery and onion and stir occasionally for 5 minutes, then add in garlic, basil, salt and thyme and stir, cooking for another 4 minutes.
In a slow cooker add in the chicken broth, milk and cornstarch mixture, chicken breast, potato gnocchi and spinach and stir to combine, and in the contents of the stovetop pan scraping down the sides of the pot.
Set the slow cooker high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours (all slow cookers vary a little bit, if your is hot and cooks things fast cook for 6, or if it's like mine and cooks slow cook it on low for 8 hrs).
When the timer goes off, open the lid and stir, use two forks to shred the chicken, then ladle into bowls and serve.
