This creamy vegetarian gnocchi soup is a comforting and hearty dish perfect for a cozy meal. Rich and velvety with a blend of tender gnocchi, fresh spinach, and a medley of sautéed vegetables simmered in a flavorful vegetable broth, finished with a touch of cream for smoothness. It’s easy to prepare and can easily be made vegan by using coconut cream, making it suitable for a variety of dietary needs.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

Liquids

  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for vegan option)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Other

  • 1 package (16 oz) gnocchi
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  2. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer to allow the flavors to meld gently.
  3. Cook Gnocchi: Add the gnocchi to the simmering pot and cook according to the package instructions, typically about 2-3 minutes, or until the gnocchi float to the surface, indicating they are done.
  4. Add Cream and Heat Through: Lower the heat and gently stir in the heavy cream (or coconut cream if vegan). Mix until fully incorporated, warming the soup through without allowing it to boil, to avoid curdling.
  5. Wilt Spinach and Season: Toss in the fresh spinach and let it wilt for 1-2 minutes. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed for seasoning.
  6. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley or basil if desired. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream.
  • You can add fresh herbs such as parsley or basil as garnish to enhance flavor.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  • If you prefer, use gluten-free gnocchi for a gluten-free option.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
