After tasting a similar soup at a restaurant, I created this quick and tasty version. The pesto adds an extra-nice Italian flavor that is often missing from other gnocchi soups.  &mdash;Deanna Smith, Des Moines, Iowa t

Chicken Gnocchi Pesto Soup

jar (15 ounces) roasted garlic Alfredo sauce

water

rotisserie chicken, roughly chopped

Italian seasoning

salt

pepper

(16 ounces) potato gnocchi

spinach

pesto

Very easy to make. My family is not huge garlic fans so I used regular alfredo and added a little garlic powder to it.

It was really tasty and easy, but I am giving 4 stars because it needs way more liquid. At least a cup more of water. But it's very good!

Quick, easy and delcious! maybe a bit of bacon and onions too would be a good addition. I will definately be making this more and trying various versions.

Thank you, Deanna, my neighbor to the South!! (Minnesota here!!)I finally made this wonderful soup! (Twice!)I did 'sweat' chopped garlic in a bit of butter before adding the other ingredients.(I would suggest whisking the water into the sauce to blend it.)Not wanting to venture out in freezing temps., I did use frozen spinach. Not the kind that is frozen in a block.I made half the recipe because I was dining alone and wanted reruns the next day. Needless to say, there wasn't too much left!I also topped it with some grated parmesan.It was totally a feast for the eyes when topped with a teaspoon of Pesto with the olive oil slowly running off onto the warm soup!!I made it again a few days later!!What more can I say, other than easy, flavorful, and easily 10 stars - or 20!!Loved it - Kitzer

Great soup, instead of water i used a can of chicken broth (14.5 oz) and just added enough water to make 2 cups, everything else I followed the recipe   I  meant to add some onions and garlic per another review but forgot, lol.

Served for guests and they loved it!  Easy to make. Will definitely fix again.

This was delicious! Added mushrooms because they needed to be used and added a little more water. Very fast to make.

I am so thrilled with this recipe. It became my favorite winter soup. I have made it with broccoli, and mushrooms and less spinach; no chicken or with bacon. It is very quick, and can be changed easily with what you have on hand. Yummy!

we do not have alfredo sauce in jars here so i had to make my ownbut this soup was yummy and easy to make!

This was a big hit with my family and quick and effortless. My husband threw away my Taste of Home magazine, so I was so pleased to find this again online! Making again today :)

I made this yesterday.  It is just delicious and so easy!
