ere’s a simplified version of the tips for making a copycat Olive Garden Chicken & Gnocchi Soup:
- Chicken: Use a store-bought rotisserie chicken for convenience, or cook chicken quickly using an Instant Pot, boiling, or roasting.
- Carrots: If you don’t want to chop, buy pre-packaged matchstick carrots.
- Chicken Broth: Store-bought low-sodium chicken broth works well if you don’t have homemade on hand.
- Gnocchi: Choose store-bought gnocchi (shelf-stable, refrigerated, or frozen) for best results in soups.
These shortcuts can help you prepare the soup quickly and easily!

Directions
Cook the vegetables: Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the celery, onion, and carrots, and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Make the soup base: Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, and stir constantly until melted, about 1 minute. Stir in the flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until pale golden brown and bubbly, about 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth, half-and-half, chicken, sugar, and salt. Bring the soup to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Stir in gnocchi and spinach: Add the gnocchi, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in spinach, Italian seasoning, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring often, until the spinach is wilted. Serve warm. Love the recipe? Leave us a review and stars below!
