This is a copycat recipe for the chicken and gnocchi soup at Olive Garden. This is my favorite soup to get every time I go to Olive Garden and I love to eat it with breadsticks. This soup consists of ingredients such as cooked chicken, potato gnocchi, chicken broth and a half and half. A lot of the flavor comes from celery, carrot, onion, garlic, and thyme. This soup takes a little time to prepare because a lot of the ingredients need to be chopped. Enjoy.
