A creamy, comforting copycat of Olive Garden’s chicken gnocchi soup, made quickly with rotisserie chicken and tender gnocchi.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (16 ounce) package potato gnocchi
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth, add shredded chicken, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add the gnocchi to the simmering broth. Cook according to package directions, usually 2-3 minutes, until they float to the surface.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and fresh spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls and serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For a stovetop version, follow the instructions above.
  • For an Instant Pot version, sauté vegetables in the pot using the Sauté function. Add broth, chicken, and seasonings. Cook on High Pressure for 3 minutes, then quick release. Stir in gnocchi, cream, and spinach, and cook on Sauté until gnocchi are done and spinach wilts.
  • This soup is a great option for meal planning, and leftovers store well for future weeknight meals.
