4 c chicken broth
1 small onion chopped
3 c fresh baby spinach
1 1-pound package of potato gnocchi mini if you can find them

In the bottom of a large slow cooker, add celery, carrots, basil, onion, garlic, chicken breasts, pepper, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Stir everything to combine. Add the chicken stock over.
Cover and seal the slow cooker, then cook everything for about 6 hours on a low setting or 4 hours on a high setting.
