Prairie Wife’s Crock Pot Chicken Gnocchi Soup
Chicken Gnocchi Soup is one of my kids’ favorite things to have at Olive Garden, and I have to agree…it’s tasty AND filling.
My Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup is a family favorite, and on a whim, I decided to try and tweak it a little bit and see if I could come up with a Crockpot version of Olive Garden’s Chicken Gnocchi soup.
What I came up with was quick, easy to make, and a HUGE hit with the entire family, so it was a no-brainer that I needed to share the recipe with you.
Also, I can see big huge flakes of snow falling out my window right now, which always puts me in the mood for Crockpot soup.
NOTE: You can find bags of pre-made Gnocchi in the pasta aisle at your local grocery store.
