Olive Garden Style Chicken Gnocchi Soup Recipe
By kimbraman1961 (Guest Post)
I tried this recipe and it is the closest you can come to the soup at Olive Garden. As with the Olive Garden soup, it can taste a little different each time you make it. From beginning to end it takes about 10 min. of prep and 30 min. cook time.
1/3 cup butter
2 cloves of minced garlic
1 lb. chicken cubed or large chunks
1/3 cup flour
1/2 carrot shredded
1 stick of celery shredded
1/4 cup onion shredded
1/2 cup fresh spinach torn in pieces
2 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream (I use half and half)
3 chicken bullion cubes
Cracked pepper to taste
17.6 oz. of Gnocchi
On medium heat.
Melt butter in a soup pot, add in the garlic and sautee, add your chicken and cook through out
Add flour and stir in flour and mix well until the flour is cooked into the chicken.
Next add your milk and heavy cream
Then add the veggies(Carrots, Celery, Onion, Spinach)
Add three bullion cubes
Add your Gnocchi last it takes 3-4 min. to cook throughout
Mix ingredients well until soup thickens and stirring occasionally. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
Navy Bean & Ham....DELICIOUS
Ham & Navy Bean Soup
Seafood Gumbo. NO Okra!

I'll take that with a side of puffed up pastry and a strong cup of tea....
No soup For You!

After reading this thread who could decide on one favorite soup or stew etc??
I even love reading the dam thing even if I’m not cooking. His pictures of his family and growing up in NY are priceless. He was a gem!
Little Bit of Everything Soup
Just a wee bit helps. Maybe a 1/8 of a cup. Anymore and it will give a slimy texture that you can see when you spoon it. The secret ingredient is the gumbo filé. Add it about 5 - 10 mins before done. :)
my homemade spicy chicken soup. mushrooms, onions, jalapenos, garlic, salt and white pepper, chicken stock and boneless skinless chicken. serve with tortillas, rice or beans, and your fire quenching beverage of choice. hubbymayhem says he could live on this meal.
Yum, so good and sooooo rich (it’s the heavy cream that’ll getcha!)
I am sorry. I have not been here that long.
Case in point. I got into a heated volly with Laz last Friday. Bad idea...
So, I am unaware of the “THAILAND?” joke.
>heated volly with Laz
I’d hit it!
This soup is especially delicious if you add a little sherry or rum.
I remember a story about his mother cutting the heads off chickens while his father sat in the parlor reading the newspaper as if nothing had happened. And I’m pretty sure this was in a Bronx apartment!
Some of the recipes are excellent - and all very easy.
