Delicious copycat olive garden chicken gnocchi soup recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (16 ounce) package potato gnocchi
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add the diced onion and shredded carrots to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the potato gnocchi and cook according to package directions, usually about 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
  4. Step 4: Stir in the cooked chicken and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Step 5: Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best flavor, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, to prevent the cream from separating.
  • Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh Parmesan cheese and a side of crusty bread for dipping.
  • Don't overcook the gnocchi, as they can become mushy; wait to add them until just before serving.
