Crock Pot Chicken Gnocchi Soup

I need help from all of you that like/love gnocchi. I have tried several brands, but can not find one that I like. I usually use a frozen one that is okay, but not good. This time I could not find it so I used one from the pasta aisle and it was not good. I love Olive Garden's chicken gnocchi soup, it is so delicious. This copycat is also delicious, but the gnocchi I used. If you have a gnocchi that you use and love please let me know in the comments. I need to find a good brand!
