Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 package (16 oz.) potato gnocchi
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, stirring to combine with the sautéed vegetables.
- Bring the broth to a gentle boil, then add the package of potato gnocchi to the pot. Cook according to the package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes, or until the gnocchi begin to float.
- Lower the heat and carefully stir in the heavy cream. Allow the soup to simmer on low heat for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld together.
- Stir in the fresh spinach and simmer for another 2-3 minutes. The spinach will wilt quickly, adding vibrant color to your soup.
- Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as needed to enhance the flavors.
- Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove from heat and prepare to enjoy!
Notes
- For the freshest flavor, use fresh spinach and high-quality vegetable broth.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, consider adding more gnocchi or reducing the amount of broth used.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- Fresh herbs such as basil or parsley can be added for an aromatic finish just before serving.
- This soup can be made a day in advance and reheats well on the stovetop.
