Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi Soup
Description
This soup combines diced chicken breast, celery, onion, garlic, shredded carrots, and seasoning simmered together in chicken broth until cooked. The addition of potato gnocchi and a cornstarch-thickened heavy cream mixture creates a creamy texture that coats each ingredient. Fresh chopped spinach is stirred in near the end for a leafy freshness, and a topping of shredded Parmesan cheese adds a salty, savory finish.
The soup is cooked slowly in a crock pot, allowing flavors to meld, and the gnocchi steams through without becoming mushy. It can be served warm and makes a filling meal with balanced textures from tender chicken, soft gnocchi, and fresh vegetables.
