This Copycat Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi Soup is rich, creamy, and loaded with tender chicken, fluffy gnocchi, and fresh spinach—just like the restaurant favorite but even better made at home!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • ½ cup diced carrots
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 pound potato gnocchi
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • For Garnish:
    • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    • Fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium. Add onion, celery, and carrots and sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add Broth and Chicken: Pour in chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then add shredded chicken and gnocchi.
  3. Cook Gnocchi: Simmer until gnocchi float and are tender, about 4–5 minutes.
  4. Add Cream and Spinach: Stir in heavy cream and baby spinach. Simmer 2–3 more minutes until spinach wilts.
  5. Finish and Serve: Adjust seasoning. Ladle into bowls and top with Parmesan and parsley.

Notes

  • For freezer storage, omit cream and spinach and add them when reheating.
  • Substitute unsweetened coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicier twist.
