Better than Olive Garden Chicken & Gnocchi Soup

1 tablespoon olive oil – 1 medium onion, diced – 2 cloves garlic, minced – 2 medium carrots, shredded – 2 celery stalks, diced – 1 teaspoon dried thyme – 1 teaspoon dried basil – 1/4 cup all-purpose flour – 6 cups chicken broth – 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded – 1 cup potato gnocchi (store-bought) – 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped – 1 cup heavy cream – Salt and pepper to taste – Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish (optional) 1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add your diced onion and sauté until it’s translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Don’t walk away – the smell is heavenly! 2. Add the minced garlic, shredded carrots, and diced celery, continuing to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the veggies are nice and tender. 3. Who doesn’t love an herby smell? Stir in your dried thyme and basil, then sprinkle the flour over the mixture, stirring everything to combine. The flour helps thicken up the soup, so cook this for an additional 2 minutes to get rid of that raw flour taste. 4. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring. This will help you avoid any pesky lumps from the flour. Get it bubbling nicely, bringing it to a simmer. 5. Add your shredded cooked chicken and potato gnocchi into the mix. Let it simmer until those little gnocchi float to the top, which should take about 5 minutes. 6. Stir in the fresh spinach and heavy cream for that lovely creamy consistency. Allow the soup to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until it’s all heated through. Make sure to season with salt and pepper to your liking!

coffee and lofi are the best combo

Did I miss somewhere that anyone thinks Olive Garden is good?

Better than Olive Garden? Cambell’s soup and spaghetti-os are better than Olive Garden!
