Crock-Pot Chicken Gnocchi Soup (Olive Garden Copycat)

Slow Cooker Chicken Gnocchi Soup (Olive Garden Copycat)

Summer is over and school has started here. With school starting, the cooler weather will slowly start to come about.  Today we are having some rain and nice cool breezes. Makes me think about soup!

There really is nothing better than a hot bowl of soup for dinner or lunch if you ask me.

I have never tried cooking with  potato gnocchi before and decided to give this soup a try after I had a bowl of an amazing Chicken Gnocchi soup at The Olive Garden. I knew immediately that I had to try and recreate that recipe at home in my slow cooker!

I used home canned chicken chunks and chicken stock I made myself too. But you could easily use left over chicken, rotisserie chicken or even canned chicken too. And of course store bought chicken stock works just great too.

I liked the flavor of the soup and the ease of making the recipe itself. This recipe is one I am going to make again and again for sure!

Crock-Pot Chicken Gnocchi Soup Recipe

Heidi Kennedy
You can use any sort of cooked chicken in this easy recipe. A store bought rotisserie chicken or canned chicken works in a pinch or use up some leftover chicken in this delicious soup.

    Made this for dinner and thought it was great! Brought in leftovers to my office and then everyone loved it and asked for the recipe! I did put my cooked chicken into my vita mix blender so it was slightly ground and I really really liked that

    Being that the recipe cooks for 7 hours in the crockpot, is it possible to just use fresh uncooked chicken pieces? I would much rather use this instead of already cooked.

      Hi Debbie, while we have not tested this recipe using fresh uncooked chicken I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Give it a try and be sure to come back and let us know how it turned out for you!

      Hey Debbie I’m 4 hours in using fresh chicken breasts and it’s starting to fall apart beautifully.

    Once cooked completely, can this be frozen? It made more than I can eat and hate to waste any, it was fantastic!

      Hi Mrshal, while we have not frozen this soup and reheated it I think it should be OK. Because the recipe calls for milk it may separate a little bit when frozen. But if it does you should be able to get it to come back together by stirring briskly (I think). I have sucessfully frozen chowders and other creamy soups but usually have to stir while reheating to get it to come back together. Otherwise the flavor will still be there regardless. Give it a try and let us know how it turns out for you.

        I know someone who works at Olive Garden. And they freeze their soup in large freezer bags. Then reheats it.

    If you’re in a hurry could you cook it on high for less hours?

      Hi De Ann, we have not tested this particular recipe on HIGH. But it should be OK. The standard conversion is half the time when cooking on HIGH. Let us know how it turns out for you!

    This recipe looks so easy to make and yummy! I am definitely making this. Love your site too — it’s very easy to find recipes that I want to make.

    Just have one question though — I used the Pinterest button on the recipe and saved it to my crockpot Pinterest board but immediately following that, it was removed by Pinterest citing that there was a copyright complaint. Very confused as I pinned it from your site. I use Pinterest to save recipes rather than clogging up my email. Can you please explain why this is happening?

      Hi Lisa, I received that notification from Pinterest as well. And it appears that someone decided to report the pin on Pinterest and Pinterest deleted it. I have contacted Pinterest and cleared the matter up and proved proper ownership and copyright to them. However it appears that Pinterest is unable to restore pins once they have deleted them. I am sorry for the confusion.

    Absolutely delicious soup! I made it for lunch on Thanksgiving and it was a hit! Served with a salad and garlic breadsticks made a perfect lunch or dinner. Now a family favorite.

    Can I use frozen gnocchi? I have it on hand. If so, should I boil it first before amazing top crock pot? Or can I let it cook in crockpot?

      Frozen gnocchi should work just fine. I would just let it cook in the slow cooker.
