Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi Soup Plated

Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi Soup is just like what you would get at Olive Garden. I actually craved some breadsticks with this as I was eating it. Note to self, add those to the menu next time. Due to our diet needs, I actually swapped the evaporated milk out for coconut milk. To us, it did not change the flavors of the soup, just gave us a dairy free option. For soup and a crockpot meal, there are a lot of steps with this recipe. But you will not be disappointed with this!
