Sometimes there will be a sale on something you’ve never bought before. In my case it was potato gnocchi.
This Colavita potato gnocchi was on sale, bargain priced, so I bought it!
Colavita gnocchi
Here’s how
My version of Olive Garden’s Gnocchi Soup
# 2 cans chicken broth
# 2 cups whole milk
# 1 t minced garlic
# few baby carrots chopped or sliced
# 1/2 onion, diced
# 1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach
# 1 tablespoon olive oil
# 1 teaspoon thyme
# salt and pepper
# 16 ounces potato gnocchi
# 1 tablespoon cornstarch
1. Saute the onion, garlic, and carrot in oil over medium heat until onion is translucent.
2. Add chicken broth, milk salt,pepper, and thyme. Heat to boiling, then add gnocchi and frozen spinach. Gently boil for 4 minutes, then turn down to a simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Heat to boiling and add cornstarch dissolved in 1-2 Tbsp water at this point if you want a thicker soup.).
4. Ladle into bowls and serve!

Olive Garden’s probably has chicken in it. I was serving this with chicken salad over greens, so I opted NOT to use chicken in the soup. I’ve only had this once before, at Olive Garden. I found it ‘different’ but delish and this version was great too! It will now be a fall-back soup recipe for this household!
