Chicken Gnocchi Soup one of my daughter’s favorite things to order at the Olive Garden. We found that this recipe comes pretty close to the original. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi Soup Recipe

4 chicken breasts, cooked and diced into 1/2″ pieces
1 Tbsp. olive oil
4 Tbsp. butter
2 stalks celery, diced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 carrot, shredded
1/2 onion, diced
3 Tbsp. flour
1 quart half and half
4-5 C. chicken stock
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon thyme
salt and pepper
16 ounces potato gnocchi (I get mine at ALDI)

Saute the onion, celery, and garlic in olive oil and butter over medium heat until onion is translucent. Add flour and coat veggies. Add chicken stock and half and half, heat to boiling and allow to thicken slightly. Add cooked chicken, salt and pepper, thyme, carrot and gnocchi. Gently boil for 4 minutes, then turn down to a simmer for 10 minutes.  Add spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until spinach is wilted.
