Vegetarian Version of Olive Garden's Chicken Gnocchi Soup
I love Olive Garden's Chicken Gnocchi Soup. Love, love love! In the past, I would gladly eat two bowls of it, about 5 breadsticks, and take my whole meal home! But I've had to skip it since becoming vegetarian and that sucks. So I found a copycat recipe online , and tweaked it to make it vegetarian. (I am so grateful for copycat sites!) Surprisingly enough (not), the original recipe calls for chicken ... I added boiled potatoes to take their place. You could probably cook the potatoes right in the soup - just make sure to add them early enough that they finish cooking before everything else goes soft. That might be too much potato in one soup for some people (is that even possible?). :) You could bump up the amounts of the gnocchi or other veggies in the recipe, or add corn, bell peppers, or soy "chicken" if the extra potatoes don't float your boat. Any other ideas for taking the place of the chicken? Start by chopp...
That may be the dumbest waste of money I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteProbably a waste of money, but I think they'd make a good gag gift, haha :)
DeleteThat's hilarious! I think some children might cry if you gave them one - they look quite spooky!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the final weeks of study - hope it is going well!
They are a little spooky now that I think about it!
DeleteThank you for the good luck and all the well wishes you've been giving me! It really boosts my spirits :)
Lucky they are made in America? I can't imagine them having a huge market here in Australia!!
ReplyDeleteI guess made in the USA is one selling point :) I'm not sure they'd sell very well outside the US - is Duck Dynasty on TV in Australia?
DeleteAh no - I didn't even know it was a TV show. Perhaps on cable? Or at midnight?!
Deletehaha, all kinds of strange things are on at midnight. I think the main idea of the show is following around people who make duck calls - those little things duck hunters use?
DeleteI've never heard of Duck Dynasty but that doesn't mean it isn't on TV.
ReplyDeleteHow big are the lollipops? They don't look an attractive or yummy colour! But I agree with you - as a joke gift, something I'd buy my nephews, they'd be fun.
Very true - there are plenty of shows I don't know about either! They're 28 g and I'd guess about 5 cm long? The boys in my family in about the 10-12 age bracket would find these hilarious. :)
