When I use herbs I rub the roughly with my hands to help break it down and burst with flavor. I’ve been cooking sixty years and don’t remember why I do this. Looks so delicious!!
I've been making that for many years! I've started using spaetzle instead of gnocchi and I like it much better! I also make my own version of Zuppa Toscana... I freeze 16 oz portions of all my soups and eat some several times a week for a quick and easy lunch!
@@samsendelice Potatoes, Italian sausage, diced onion, kale, chicken broth, parm. rind, seasoning (salt, pepper, etc), and finished with some heavy cream.
Add a tbs of corn starch to water and make a slurry when you add the spinach, it will thicken the cream up, also it's great to add some bacon bits to flavor at that time as well. We make this, the copycat Pasta Figole soup often too.
Be sure to RINSE all contents after opening these packages:))) My mother always did this therefore I have too. But my homemaking teacher obviously didn’t follow this practice and didn’t teach us her students either. Several years ago I happened to notice a black hair thru the cellophane wrap in the meat case so I took it up to the meat counter suggesting they may want to rewrap.

😂It has been years since l have been to the Olive garden. This is a delicious soup. Thanks for making it for us. Cajun greetings from coastal Mississippi 🐻🤠
Nope you spread any bacteria that way. Cooking kills any bacteria on the meat, rinsing does not. It just means now you have to sanitize your sink right after if you do that.
@@tracycrider7778 I've used instant potatoes to thicken soup, and it is really tasty. Just have to keep an eye on how much total salt you're putting in. Probably not the healthiest option but so good.
That looks delish!! I love all the ingredients but as someone who has low iron levels I learned not to mix dairy with spinach because dairy doesn't help your body absorb iron. I know the dish looks delicious, and tasty, I would leave the spinach out, maybe add broccoli??
Many years ago my dad’s secretary, a wonderful southern lady, asked my dad, who was Italian (outside of Torino) and loved to cook to suggest a recipe to take to a church picnic. Dad gave her a simple gnocchi recipe. Monday morning she came into the office very happy and told dad that the “ga-nockies” had turned out great and there wasn’t a spoonful left for her to take home!
Always, always remove the bay leaves. Those little stems will pull a filling out. I put a sticky note up to remind me of how many I put in, make sure I take them all out.
Definitely need to make, and add a roux to this so it thickens up and doesn't look like you are eating a bowl of milk with ingredients swimming around in it
First I would have washed the chicken and removed the tendons. Second I would have baked them and then chopped them into small cubes. I also would have sautéed the onions in olive oil and added some flour when done and stirred the flour to smooth it out and then add that to the crock pot with the rest of the ingredients and let that cook awhile. It needs that thickening of the flour and I think more flavor baking the chicken. Also real garlic Instead of broth I always use Chicken Knorr bouillon cubes . A lot more flavor. But the soup looks like a good start just needs a little tweaking. But who am I. I am not a Chef. I am 65 and have cooked a lot of meals. A lot of meals!
Fun facts nobody asked for but I found interesting: Tenderloins are from the underside of the breast, so pretty much the same meat as the breast, just more expensive because there are only 2 per bird. 🌠
Yes, take out the bay leaves and GRATE YOUR OWN PARMESAN CHEESE. Believe it or NOT, commercially sold grated cheeses contain an ANTIOBIOTIC to prevent mold. Yikes.
Looks great! Can’t wait to try And since you asked, it’s pronounced “NYO-key” … CHI in Italian always a hard C (or K) sound …. Grazie molto for the recipe!
This is the lazy, I’m not that great at cooking version. The legit copy cat recipe calls for you to brown your chicken. Then using the good brown bits and oil left behind sweat your onions, carrots and celery in a skillet then add flour for the thickener prior to adding stock and half n half. It also takes about an hour and a half to do on the stove top rather than 5-6 hrs in a crock pot.
Google, do you wash chicken before cooking. I’ve seen multiple times on cooking channels that say don’t wash your chicken because you are going to cook it done. The other reason is that washing your chicken just spreads the juices around and makes cleanup harder. It’s the germs you can’t see that’s bad for you.
@cynthiacoring8602 I worked at a Tyson chicken plant before going to school and I promise you at least rinsing off raw chicken is the safest thing to do. Don't run the water to fast to prevent splashes.
I keep clorox spray bleach and wash my sink before and after washing any meat. That's just me. Every cook man's their kitchen differently. I have more than one cook in my kitchen so maybe that makes me more particular. Not taking away from the awesome looking soup he made. I will try making it myself. I'm sure it's delicious.
@@irisscott5173 I do the same. Anything meat may have even had the possibility of touching I bleach down. Lol. Better safe than sorry. The soup looks wonderful!!
My fav at Olive G ,is ' Create your own meal " Angle hair pasta ,mushroom sause, sautea shrimp ,( DELISH ) a side order of fresh garlic , extra mushroom sause , plus you get with the order a salad, & bread sticks .(. Everytime) i order you can smell the trail of fresh garlic coming to my table .. ENJOY !!!!
My favorite, so I’ve eaten Chicken Gnocchi soup at O.G. since it was released over 10 years ago (probably 50-60 times). I also found a knock-off recipe online about 7-8 years ago, tweaked it after making it a couple times and have made it now over a dozen times for family. Ours is nearly indiscernible between what you get at the restaurant and I’ll just say, this crock pot recipe isn’t creamy enough / thick enough and we roast the chicken, like O.G.. The soup has never been this thin at the restaurant for us. JS FYI, a quick Google search provided over 50 “knock-off” recipes. Good luck and happy cooking!

I'd think it would taste better
I just clicked on for the first time and his voice reminded me of living in Baton Rouge! I felt right at home!!❤
He reminded me of and looked like elvis Presley
Reminded me of that cartoon rooster who harassed the Road Runner and Coyote. Beauregard, is it?
I'm glad it's not just me. I'm Australian, but I was distracted, trying to find out if he was from Louisiana. 😊

Yep! I am a true southern gal, he ain’t southern!!! 😂😂
Yeah, I don’t know why but it’s comforting. A little too comforting….🤔
not southern but an italian, he is murdering the pronunciation of gnocchi! oh well, still looks really good 😊
My wife makes the Olive Garden Italian sausage and patato soup. It's also great.
“Nyo kee”. Looks really good! I would think that a simple corn starch slurry would thicken it up a little. Thanks for the recipe.
You could also make a roux with some of the chicken broth.
I thicken up my potato soup with instant mashed potatoes, & it'll work well with gnocchi soup also!
In Germany, they say G'notcheez. 😅

Good grief. Ppl in these comments act like ppl are stupid and will eat the bay leaf. Chill out folks.

It’s edible lol
Paul, YOU Sir need to make a bachelor cook book! lol I will share your channel for youngsters needing to learn to cook at home!!! Love, Gen X

Please take out those bay leaves before you dig in. They are dangerous if you swallow them.
Thanks I was going to say the same thing. The way he was moving it around with the spoon made me worried.
^ ^ ^ ^
Yeah
I'd have thought that since the
one bay leaf was right there at

it out

Thanks, that Olive Garden soup is my fav. The Italians were we lived pronounced Gnocci, Yonk-ie. I googled it & it's pronounced nyow-kee.
Incorrect phonetic spelling of Gnocchi. smh 🤦♀️
Thank you
@@anothergoldilocks1077so then what's the correct way?
You can also kick it up a little with red pepper flakes and golden pepper rings with a tablespoon of the brine.
Ur recipes are so easy. I’ve tried a couple of them & they are delicious..👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼
I would have browned the onions and chicken first for additional flavour

It's always a good idea to rinse meat when taking out packaging before cooking.
Nope you spread any bacteria that way. Cooking kills any bacteria on the meat, rinsing does not. It just means now you have to sanitize your sink right after if you do that.

Loved this recipe 👍🙏
Thank you so much. Just had this from OG today. Now, I can make it myself. God bless you.
Looks really good, but kinda liquidy. Maybe cut back on the broth a little since there's other liquid in there.
Or thicken with flour or starch

Canada does have an Olive Garden restaurant. It is located in Langley, BC. There are several copies of this soup recipe on the internent.

Bay leaves need to be removed before adding spinach. People can choke on them.
then take them out
People usually look at their food before eating it...
@@catherinemartinez5542 Doesn't mean they will see everything in it.
