Finally got around to trying this Olive Garden copycat! A creamy, rich broth loaded with chicken, spinach, carrots and pillowy soft gnocchi. It's a meal in a bowl!
2 tbsps olive oil
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup shredded onion
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp celery seed
1/4 cup flour
4 cups chicken broth
3/4 - 1 lb cooked, chopped chicken (I used rotisserie)
500g (1 lb) gnocchi (tricoloured used here)
2 cups milk
2 cups chopped and packed spinach
salt and pepper to taste
fresh parsley and/or baby spinach leaves to garnish
Heat oil in a large pot to medium. Add the carrots and onion and cook until onion is translucent. Add the smoked paprika, thyme and celery seed and stir together. Whisk the flour into the broth, add to the pot and bring to a boil. Stir 1 minute then reduce heat back to medium and add the chicken. (Using rotisserie chicken is a big time saver!) Simmer 10 minutes. Next add the milk, gnocchi and spinach. Bring back to a simmer for 5-10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve garnished with parsley and spinach leaves.
Makes 6 servings
