OLIVE GARDEN STYLE CHICKEN AND GNOCCHI SOUP
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 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.
