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.

Time 1h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
4 (32 ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth
1 large yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large bay leaf
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 carrot, shredded
2 cups thinly sliced escarole
2 (17.5 ounce) packages potato gnocchi
1 cup half-and-half
6 ounces fresh baby spinach leaves
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil or Italian parsley
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or more as needed for serving
1 ¼ pounds ground beef
1 large egg, beaten
¼ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¾ teaspoon garlic salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat and saute onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chicken stock, bay leaf, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and bring liquid slowly up to a simmer, about 5 minutes.

  • Once the soup is boiling, carefully drop meatballs one by one into the pot. Bring back up to a slow simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Skim off any gray muck that comes to the top with a spoon and discard.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh spinach, chicken, and vegetables will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh spinach, frozen spinach will also work.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much chicken, spinach, and vegetables to the pot, the soup will be too thick and the flavors won't be as pronounced. Add the ingredients in batches, if necessary.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften.
  • Serve the soup with a side of bread or crackers: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Chicken spinach gnocchi soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious chicken spinach gnocchi soup that your whole family will love.
