Who's ready for soup season? I know I am!! So, let's dive in with one of my top favorites, Chicken gnocchi soup! Now if you want to make the gnocchi from scratch you can click this link, Homemade Gnocchi If not, buy them from the store and let's roll!
A little fun fact! This was my first time making chicken gnocchi soup with homemade gnocchi's and I won't ever go back to store bought. If you have never made gnocchi from scratch, I would really suggest you try it at least once. You will have a blast making them especially if you put on some tunes and dance a little.
Did you know that Chicken Gnocchi Soup has a long history and was originated in Italy as a simple meal for peasants? Me either!
When Italian immigrants brought it to America, it gained popularity and has became one of my most favorite comfort foods ever. Just another little fun fact!
I first experienced chicken gnocchi soup at Olive Garden as many of us probably have and isn't it so good? Do you always walk away thinking, I want to learn how to make this at home? Me too! I also wanted to know how to make this at home because let's get real.. taking 2 toddlers in a restaurant is a trip but I'll save that story for another time!
