Instructions
1
Boil Gnocchi Until Floating
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the gnocchi and cook them until they float to the surface, which usually takes about 2 to 4 minutes. Once they’re done, drain and set them aside.
2
Saut Aromatics and Peppers
Next, heat some oil in a big pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, and cook them until they turn golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and Cubanelle peppers, and let everything cook together for another couple of minutes.
3
Simmer Soup Ingredients
Pour in the vegetable broth and canned tomatoes, then bring the soup to a boil. Turn the heat down and let it simmer until the peppers soften, which should take around 5 minutes.
4
Add Basil and Gnocchi
Stir in the fresh basil and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, add the cooked gnocchi back into the pot and let everything warm through for 3 to 5 minutes.
5
Garnish and Serve
Serve the soup in bowls and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top for a delicious finish.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This soup is a comforting blend of hearty ingredients and rich flavors. The tender gnocchi adds a soft texture that pairs perfectly with the savory broth. It’s a warm meal that feels like a hug in a bowl, ideal for chilly days or when you need something satisfying.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this soup with a slice of crusty bread or garlic toast to soak up the flavorful broth. A simple green salad on the side adds freshness and crunch. Garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme enhances the aroma and presentation.
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid breaking down the gnocchi. For longer storage, freeze the soup without the gnocchi and add fresh gnocchi when reheating.
