How to Make Tomato and Gnocchi Soup: A Complete Guide

Tomato and gnocchi soup is a comforting, one-pot dish blending tangy tomatoes with soft, pillowy gnocchi. Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to make it at home.

Ingredients:

- 2 tbsp olive oil

- 1 onion, diced

- 3 garlic cloves, minced

- 400g canned tomatoes (crushed or chopped)

- 500ml vegetable/chicken broth

- 200g potato gnocchi (fresh or frozen)

- 1 tsp dried basil (or 10 fresh leaves)

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Optional: Grated Parmesan, fresh basil for garnish.

Instructions:

1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft (3-4 mins). Stir in garlic and basil, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

2. Simmer Soup: Pour in crushed tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes to let flavors meld. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Cook Gnocchi: Add gnocchi to the soup. Cook according to package directions (usually 3-5 mins for fresh gnocchi, until they float). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

4. Serve: Ladle into bowls. Top with Parmesan and fresh basil if desired. Enjoy hot!

Tips: For a richer taste, sauté a carrot with the onion. Add spinach or kale for extra greens. This hearty soup serves 4 and takes just 30 minutes to prepare. Perfect for a cozy weeknight meal!
