Make a delicious and creamy chicken gnocchi soup at home, just like Olive Garden’s. This recipe is easy to follow and perfect for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 (16 ounce) package potato gnocchi
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and bring the soup back to a gentle simmer. Do not boil.
  5. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package directions, usually 2-3 minutes, until they float to the surface.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, you can use 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the simmering soup before adding the gnocchi.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like peas or mushrooms.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
