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.
