Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi Soup is a rich and creamy comfort food that’s packed with tender chicken, pillowy gnocchi, and a velvety broth. Inspired by the popular soup served at Olive Garden, this homemade version is easy to make and just as delicious. With a perfect balance of creamy, savory, and comforting flavors, it’s an ideal soup for chilly days, family dinners, or whenever you’re craving something hearty and satisfying.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cooked and shredded
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for a little heat)
1 bag (16 oz) potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped (or more if desired)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
Add More Vegetables: You can add carrots, celery, or zucchini to the soup for extra flavor and nutrition. Just sauté them with the onions and garlic in step 1.
Spicy Version: Add more crushed red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño for a spicier kick.
Lighter Version: Use half-and-half or whole milk instead of heavy cream for a lighter version of the soup.
Vegetarian Version: Skip the chicken and replace it with extra vegetables or plant-based protein like tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian option.
Make It Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free gnocchi if you need a gluten-free version of the soup.
