can also be made Gluten-free.
Early fall is sweater weather….in the house!
I haven’t turned the heat on yet, have you?
I’m tempted, especially at night, when the temperature really drops to its lowest point of the day. But, when our house begins to warm, and the sun comes out, by noon we can’t breathe in here….so I wait. For what? I don’t know really, when my sweaters are all in the laundry or there’s snow on the ground. Both are acceptable.
When it does begin to snow, and the furnace is happily purring away, the kitchen will warm us from the inside out, which is the most comforting way to greet late fall and winter.
Today I’m sharing an Olive Garden’s favorite of ours, Chicken Gnocchi soup, and I’m including a few substitutions to remake this into a gluten-free recipe.
If you have anyone in your family with food restrictions due to their health, or you yourself are choosing to limit certain foods in your diet, this is a filling, comforting dish, and believe me, you won’t feel like you’ve sacrificed your health for an amazing meal. It is delicious.

Notes
This is addictive, it’s THAT good!
Let me know if you try this, I’d hate to think that you won’t; your little tribe, or your tribe of “one” is bound to go for seconds!
Stay warm and toasty friends,
