PIN IT FOR LATER!
There's nothing like a warm bowl of soup on a cold night! Serve this soup up with some Easy Dinner Rolls or French Bread for the perfect cold night dinner.
I love a good copycat recipe. I mean, who doesn't, right? We've got Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana, Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits, California Pizza Kitchen BBQ Chicken Pizza, and Chili's Southwest Egg Rolls, just to name a few.
I mean – if you can make it even better at home, I'm all in!
And this Olive Garden Chicken and Gnocchi Soup is on my list of favorites, probably right there among the best. Creamy and full of flavor, I make this soup several times a year.
How to Make It
- Start by heating the olive oil and butter in a heavy bottomed pot. I love using a Dutch oven. Add the onions, celery, carrots, garlic and thyme. Cook them until they are softened, then season them with salt and pepper.
- Stir the flour into the mixture and cook for a minute or two. Whisk in the chicken broth slowly. Make sure you scrape the browned bits off of the bottom of the pan – this is where you get a lot of flavor! Whisk in the half and half, then stir in the chicken. Simmer the soup for 20 minutes.
- Stir in the cooked gnocchi and the spinach and cook until the spinach has wilted. Serve and enjoy!
Tips and Tricks
- As with most recipes, taste the soup at the end and add more salt and pepper to taste. You'll be amazed how much a little bit of salt can do!
- The recipe calls for half and half, but you can sub in milk and/or cream as desired.
- Don't love spinach? You can leave it out, or sub in another green you may like better, such as kale.
- I like to use an enameled Dutch oven to cook this on the stovetop, but any soup pot will work.
