So sad for you, To have to learn and do another job to support your learning period,

[@marieeiram7642]

Start with a little olive oil and saute all your veggies, the carrots the onion, i would add green peppers too. Once the veggies are softened add a tablespoon or so of flour, cook for a min or two to cook out the raw flour taste, then add your liquid bring to a boil to thicken a bit, add your cooked chicken , No kee, seasoning, bay leaf simmer a bit. At the end add cream, spinach, simmer till spinach is softened...take out bay leaf and enjoy thick flavorful soup.

[@littlelamb6804]

I think that his version is supposed to be the quick way... just throw everything in a crock pot and walk away. I make mine the way you suggested. It is very good that way.

[@craiggeffert1073]

Also, I believe the original recipe calls for endive, not spinach. But, I love them both so it doesn't hurt my feelings.

[@Catfluff521]

Don’t forget fresh garlic and maybe top with freshly grated parm. Fresh grated parm is way better!

[@jaeshasway]

I don’t recall that many carrots in the Olive Garden version though.

[@pattiguy7617]

​@littlelamb6804... it's thicker your way than watery like his.

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!

[@willcool713]

Pretty sure that's an affectation, because it slips a lot when he forgets. And it isn't a natural accent to the South, pretty cartoony actually, probably insults a lot of folks, actually. It's a style choice.

“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.

You said why you do it in the first part of your comment.

[@elftails]

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. The employee seemed offended so I told her I thought it might be better that I bring it to them instead of the manager and she softened her tone. Good grief.

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.

Where did you get the spoon?

[@minniesmomma6374]

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!
