Thick, creamy, and oh so cozy. A big bowl of this delicious chicken gnocchi soup is the perfect way to warm up on a chilly day!
This is a popular recipe at Olive Garden, and we’ve perfected our own version. For more Olive Garden copycats, check out our Zuppa Toscana or Tuscan Garlic Chicken.
Cozy Soup in 35 Minutes!
This creamy, comforting soup is based off of my popular sausage and tortellini soup. It’s loaded with carrots, celery, chicken, gnocchi and spinach. Bonus: it only takes 35 minutes to make, start to finish!
The most time consuming part about this recipe is the prep. Pulling rotisserie chicken, chopping vegetables, and grabbing spices. Once you’ve turned on the heat, it only takes 20 minutes to make. It’s great for busy weeknights or those night where you don’t feel like cooking but still want a homemade meal.
This creamy, hearty soup has made its appearance at our table more than a few times this past year. It’s easy to make, tastes amazing and reheats perfectly the following day.
Let’s talk gnocchi for a minute.
If you’re new to gnocchi, it’s basically a puffy potato pasta/dumpling. You can find it on the pasta aisle or in the refrigerated section of most well stocked grocery stores.
I’ve used “packaged” gnocchi twice and “fresh” gnocchi once. They both are great as long as you don’t overcook them. Gnocchi will break down the longer you cook them.
They only need to be in the soup for 5 minutes tops (remember, the pot will be full, the liquid is thick and the heat is medium, so it will take longer then what the package recommends).
