Print Recipe

A warm and satisfying vegetarian soup with creamy broth, tender gnocchi, and vibrant vegetables. Perfect for chilly evenings or meatless meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced finely
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, sliced thin
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced thin
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free option)
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 16 ounces potato gnocchi
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by finely dicing the onion, mincing the garlic, and slicing the carrots and celery.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until the onion turns translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the carrots and celery. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
  4. Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth, and add a pinch of dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Once the soup is simmering, carefully stir in the gnocchi. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the gnocchi floats to the top.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, then stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 2 cups of baby spinach. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, just until the spinach wilts.
  7. Give the soup a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt or pepper as desired.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcook the gnocchi; they’re ready when they float to the surface.’, ‘Sautéing the onion and garlic first helps build a flavorful base.’, ‘Use fresh spinach for better texture and vibrant color.’, ‘Lower the heat after adding cream to prevent curdling.’, ‘Add more veggies like zucchini, mushrooms, or peas for a heartier soup.’]
