From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito

This creamy chicken gnocchi soup is such a delicious and easy to make dinner that’s perfect for a busy weekday.

It couldn’t be easier to put together and most of the ingredients are pantry staples that I already have on hand.

Not only is this soup incredibly delicious, but it’s also ready to eat in under 30 minutes.

My family loves when I make this for them on a cold fall or winter night. It’s so filling and keeps them full and warm for hours.

This recipe came to me through a friend years ago, and I’ve been making it every cold weather season since.

I do believe this is actually an Olive Garden copycat recipe, but I would not know since I have never had the soup there.

So you can be the judge of if it taste the same or not. All I know is that it is so amazing and we all love it at my house.

And the best part is that it’s made all in one pot so clean up is a breeze.

I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do. ?

Creamy Chicken Gnocchi Soup Variations

I like this gnocchi soup recipe made just the way it is but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

• Pasta- swap the Gnocchi out for some cheese tortellini or any small pasta if you’d like.
• Meat- you can use ground beef or sausage if you’d like to instead of shredded chicken. Just be sure to cook the meat before adding it into the soup.
• Broth- Chicken or vegetable broth would both work.
• Spicy- if you’d like to add a little heat, add some red pepper flakes to the vegetables as you sauté them.
