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.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your soup. Look for high-quality chicken breasts, fresh vegetables, and a flavorful broth.
Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the chicken and gnocchi won't cook evenly. Cook the chicken and gnocchi in batches if necessary.
Simmer the soup: Simmering the soup allows the flavors to meld and develop. Don't boil the soup, as this will make it tough and chewy.
Season to taste: Taste the soup as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
Serve with your favorite toppings: Serve the soup with a variety of toppings, such as grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, or crumbled bacon.
