You can make Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi soup just like the Olive Garden does. Just a few ingredients and you can enjoy this famous soup at home. You can add more chicken if you like and you could use leftover cooked chicken breasts. If you want to make the soup lower in calories, you can use milk instead of half and half. Serves 8.


Chicken Gnocchi Soup of Olive Garden #FamousRestaurantCopycats


Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin oil
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 4 tablespoons flour
• 1 quart half and half (half milk - half cream)
• 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
• 1 cup onion, finely diced
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 2 14 ounce cans of chicken broth if you enjoy thick soup, use one can
• 1 cup carrots, finely shredded
• 1 cup chicken breasts, cooked and diced (you can use a rotisserie chicken)
• 1 package gnocchi, cooked (you can find these in gourmet/pasta section of the grocery store - you may want to cut the gnocchi in half if it is large, or purchase the mini size if available)
• 1 cup of fresh spinach coarsely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Procedures:

1) Saute the onion, celery, and garlic in the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the onion becomes translucent.

2) Add the flour and make a roux. Let the butter and flour mixture cook for about a minute before adding 1 quart of half and half.

3) Cook gnocchi according to package directions.

4) Into the roux, add in the carrots and chicken. Once the mixture becomes thick, add the chicken broth. Once the mixture thickens again, add the cooked gnocchi, spinach, and seasoning; simmer until soup is heated through.

5) Before serving season to taste by adding additional salt.
