OLIVE GARDEN STYLE CHICKEN AND GNOCCHI SOUP



Olive Garden Style Chicken and Gnocchi Soup image

This is very close to the Olive Garden soup. There's another recipe on the web, which was the basis of this recipe, however, I have changed it to use less cream. Still tastes good! I did end up using a little cornstarch to thicken. I guess you could sub heavy cream for the half-and-half to make it a little thicker without using cornstarch. The gnocchi is usually in the spaghetti section of the grocery store.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup more flavor and nutrients. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, leeks, potatoes, and tomatoes.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will add a lot of flavor to your soup. Some good choices include parsley, thyme, rosemary, and oregano.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry. Cook it just until it is cooked through.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is made with real ingredients and has a rich flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste. Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten up the flavors.

Conclusion:

Chicken and gnocchi soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and hearty soup that the whole family will enjoy.
