Chicken Gnocchi Soup – Creamy & Delicious!

This chicken gnocchi soup is oh so creamy and delicious! I made this with my fresh milled flour gnocchi recipe HERE. This tasted even better than the Olive Garden soup, so this would be the perfect copycat recipe for it. This soup is hearty enough as a main course, or you could also use it as an appetizer, or side dish as well.

This soup came together pretty quickly, and we served it with a slice of my homemade sourdough bread, you can find that recipe HERE.

What To Serve With Chicken Gnocchi Soup

This soup is hearty enough to enjoy all on it’s own. But, you could also pair it with some other delicious options. So, here are some ideas to get you started.

• Warm, Crusty Bread – Perfect for dipping into the creamy soup. I have a wonderful sourdough Artisan loaf you can make the day before HERE OR I also have a no knead bread without sourdough HERE.
• Soft Breadsticks – A classic Olive Garden pairing. I love to use my pizza dough HERE for these, and brush with garlic butter after baking.
• Crisp Green Salad – Tossed with Italian or Caesar dressing for freshness. HERE is my favorite way to make a homemade Caesar Dressing.
• Caprese Salad – Fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil with balsamic glaze.
• Roasted Vegetables – Add a side of seasoned roasted veggies.
• Freshly Grated Parmesan – Just keep it simple, and sprinkle on top for an extra cheesy finish.

So, those are just a few options, make sure to let me know down in the comments below what your favorite pairing is.
