Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi Soup Copycat
Description
This soup recipe starts with sautéing onion, celery, garlic, and shredded carrot to build a gentle aromatic foundation. Cooked chicken is added along with chicken broth and seasoning before gently cooking the gnocchi in the broth until tender. The addition of cream and fresh spinach near the end softens and enriches the soup, imparting a slightly creamy texture and the brightness of wilted greens.
The blend of mild herbs and the velvety broth supports the delicate potato dumplings and chicken pieces. Serving this soup with warm bread can make it a heartier meal. Its balanced flavors and smooth texture make it comforting and approachable.
