Instant Pot Chicken Gnocchi

One of my favorite things about eating at Olive Garden is ordering one of their delicious soups. I think they have some of the best soups on any restaurant menu these days. The Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi is probably my favorite. I am a sucker for a potato dumpling nestled in a delicious broth with spinach and chicken.

Chicken Gnocchi Soup Recipe

I knew I had to learn how to create this Olive Garden soup recipe at home so I got out my trusty Instant Pot and got to work. I use store-bought gnocchi but if you make your own little potato dumplings you can use those too. One day I will make my own!

The Instant Pot is perfect to use for soups because it makes them seem like they have been cooking all day long when really it takes just minutes. Normally I would could this soup on the stovetop for over 30 minutes but it takes just 4 minutes in a pressure cooker. It is the perfect family-friendly Instant Pot meal.
