This copycat Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi Soup is just as creamy and delicious as the restaurant version, but can be made in under 30 minutes! Packed with tender chicken, pillowy gnocchi, and a creamy broth, this soup is a comforting and satisfying dish perfect for any day of the week.

Ingredients

For the Soup:

  • 3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and diced
  • 1 stalk of celery, chopped
  • ½ white onion, diced
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 16 ounces potato gnocchi
  • 2 cups half and half, see note
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add celery, onions, garlic, and carrots, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until onions are translucent.
  2. Step 2: Add chicken, chicken broth, salt, pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then gently stir in gnocchi. Boil for 3-4 minutes longer before reducing heat to a simmer and cooking for 10 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Stir in half and half and spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach is tender. Taste, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve.

Notes

  • Milk: for even more creamy richness, swap one cup of the half and half for heavy cream.
