Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi Soup Recipe
Push saute and place the oil, chicken, onion and celery into your Instant Pot. Saute until the chicken is brown. {If you're using a rotisserie chicken, add the chicken with the broth, carrots, etc and just saute until the onions are translucent.}
Add chicken broth, carrots, and dried thyme and mix until combined.
Place the lid on your Instant Pot and set the timer on manual for 4 minutes.
When the timer goes off, do a quick release.
Turn your Instant Pot to saute again and stir in the spinach, half and half and Gnocchi.
Heat up the soup until boiling.
Stir frequently and continue to cook until gnocchi is cooked through.
Serve immediately.
