Copy Cat Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi Soup

Ingredients

3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
3/4 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup carrots, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup flour
4 cups chicken broth
2-3 cups chicken, we use Costco rotisserie chicken cut into pieces
1-2 pound gnocchi
3 cups spinach, stems removed
1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped

Parmesan cheese for garnish

Directions

1. In a large pot, heat the butter and oil over medium heat. Add in the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Season with salt and pepper and cook until tender, about 10 minutes
2. Add in the flour and stir into the vegetables, cook for 3 minutes, stirring often
3. Stir in chicken broth, followed by 1/2 and 1/2
4. Add in the chicken, bring to a simmer and maintain for 20 minutes, stirring often
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste
6. Cook the gnocchi in a separate pot according to the package, add them to the soup with the spinach
7. Simmer until the spinach wilts, stir in basil
8. Garnish with Parmesan Cheese

I use 2 pounds of gnocchi and at least 3 cups chicken in this recipe so it is really filling. The Chicken Gnocchi Soup that is served in the restaurant is more brothy but I like making this soup really filling.

We use either the Hamilton Beach Set ‘n Forget Programmable Slow Cooker, 6-Quart or Crock-Pot 5-Quart Slow Cooker for all of our crock pot recipes
