What’s in Chicken Gnocchi Soup?
Sorry, Olive Garden… This homemade soup might be even better than yours! Creamy soup is made scrumptious with pillowy gnocchi, tender white meat chicken, and a perfect amount of fresh veggies. If you need a bowl of something warm to keep you cozy, look no further!
Oil + Butter: Helps the veggies cook without burning and adds delicious flavor. Mirepoix: A combination of onion, carrot, and celery forms a flavorful base. Garlic: Adds an earthy flavor and a pungent aroma. Chicken Broth: Forms the base of the soup. Spices: Thyme, salt, and pepper infuse this soup with rich flavor. Potato Gnocchi: These soft and fluffy dumplings are just so tasty! Half-and-Half: Makes the soup creamy. Spinach: Adds a pop of color and lots of vitamins and minerals. Chicken: Cooked cubed chicken breasts are lean, healthy, and packed with protein.
Pro Tip: If tight on time, use rotisserie chicken! It’s a wonderful shortcut option for this soup recipe.
Variations on Chicken and Gnocchi Soup
While this is a copycat recipe, that doesn’t mean you can’t put your own twist on it. Try adding more chopped veggies, like mushrooms, broccoli florets, or roasted red peppers. For a little kick of heat, add some red pepper flakes. And stir in some shredded Parmesan or mozzarella cheese towards the end of cooking for a cheesy version!

Serving Suggestions
This hearty soup is filling enough to be a meal on its own, or you can portion it smaller and serve it as an appetizer. Do your own at-home soup, salad, and breadsticks deal with a Caesar salad and Olive Garden breadsticks. Or grab a filling Italian entrée, like chicken alfredo, chicken parmesan, chicken marsala, chicken lasagna, or chicken spaghetti and meatballs.
