About This Recipe:
Here we are with another Olive Garden soup dupe. On the menu today is their delicious creamy chicken gnocchi soup. This recipe is still delicious and creamy, but a lighter and healthier version that you can easily make at home. The base of this soup is very similar to regular chicken noodle soup, and it’s a complete meal in a bowl. Perfect for cozy Fall nights in.
Enjoy!
