Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi Soup is so delicious! It's filled with potato gnocchi (potato dumplings) and is hearty enough for a soup meal. I can’t wait for you to try my skinny remake!!! It tastes luxuriously rich and decadent. And, it has more chicken, veggies, and gnocchi. Each main course serving has 299 calories, 5 grams of fat

Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl or plate, add onions, carrots, and celery. Cook in microwave for about 4 minutes until soft.
In a large nonstick pan or pot, melt butter. Add garlic and cooked vegetables. Season with a little salt and pepper. Mix well. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in flour and mix well. Continue to cook for 2 minutes, stirring often. Stir in chicken broth, 1 cup at a time, mixing after each. Pour in milk and stir well. Add cooked chicken. Bring up to a simmer and continue to simmer, uncovered for 20 minutes. Stir often.
In the meantime, cook potato gnocchi separately, according to package directions. When the soup is finished, add cooked gnocchi and spinach. Simmer for about a minute until spinach is wilted.
Notes
Shopping Tips You can find packages of potato gnocchi in the refrigerated, pasta section of the supermarket. Sometimes it’s in the shelf-stable, dry pasta section. I used Trader Joe’s Gnocchi Italian. There's is a 17.6-ounce package. I based my skinny facts using theirs.WW Freestyle SmartPoints 6-Blue WW SmartPoints 7-Green WW POINTS PLUS 7
