Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced celery, carrots, and onion, then sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Do not burn the garlic.
  3. Pour in chicken broth, then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the vegetables to tenderize.
  4. Add heavy cream, shredded cooked chicken, gnocchi, salt, pepper, and dried thyme to the pot. Stir well and simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the gnocchi are tender.
  5. Finally, stir in fresh spinach and cook until it just wilts, about 2-3 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy your Olive Garden-style Chicken Gnocchi Soup.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can use homemade chicken broth. Adjust seasoning to taste, and add a pinch of nutmeg for a warm, subtle flavor. This soup is best served fresh but reheats well on the stovetop.
