I love Olive Garden's Chicken Gnocchi Soup, so I looked up some recipes online yesterday and then picked what I liked out of all of them (sometimes depending on what I had in my cupboards) and this is what I came up with. It turned out yummy!
------
1 jar alfredo sauce
1 can chicken broth (I used 14-15 oz. of the water I boiled the chicken in with a teaspoon and a half of chicken base flavoring)
1/3 c. milk (you can add more if you want it thinner or add a tablespoon of flour to thicken)
1/4 c. butter
1-2 t. parsley flakes
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt and pepper to taste (none, if you like it as is)
simmer for a few minutes
add
3 chicken breasts, cubed or shredded
1 package gnocchi
lightly boil for roughly 4 minutes or until gnocchi is tender
add
1 packed cup of spinach, chopped
simmer 1-2 minutes
Serve

Sophie loved the gnocchi. She ate a whole bowl full. Just one more thing. Do not get the enriched, sweet potato/wheat gnocchi to try and be healthy. It's quite heavy and sticks to your teeth. Get the plain, made from regular potatoes gnocchi. It's the best.
