Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 28 oz can fire roasted tomatoes
  • 1 ½ cups vegetable broth
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup lite coconut milk (+ more for topping if desired)
  • 16 oz package fresh or frozen gnocchi* See note
  • 1 cup fresh basil (+ more for topping if desired)

Instructions

  • In a large pot add your olive oil and diced onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes over medium heat, then add in your minced garlic and cook for another few minutes until fragrant.
  • Add your fire roasted tomatoes, vegetable broth, salt, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes.
  • Bring to boil and then turn down heat to and simmer (covered) for 10 minutes to let the flavors build.
  • Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup to the desired consistency (leave in a few tomato pieces if desired).
  • Bring back to boil and add in coconut milk, gnocchi, and basil. Cook for 3-4 minutes until gnocchi are cooked through and float to the top.
  • Top with more basil, a drizzle of coconut milk, and fresh pepper.
  • Enjoy with crackers, toasted bread, croutons, or another delicious side.

Notes

Note: Gnocchi cooking time can vary. Most will be ready in 3-4 minutes if using room temperature gnocchi. If you are using frozen gnocchi they may taken 6-8 minutes. Don't overcook your gnocchi or they will be mushy!
Other notes: 
-Be careful when blending your soup with the immersion blender because it will be hot. You can let it cool for 5 minutes or consider wearing gloves. 
- If you can't find fire roasted tomatoes you can use regular diced tomatoes. Consider adding 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika to give a smoky and sweet flavor similar to fire roasted tomatoes.
-Store in the fridge for 3-4 days after it is cooled. Reheat this vegan gnocchi soup the microwave or over the stove. If it is becoming too thick, add a little more water or vegetable broth.
-I do not recommend freezing this soup as the gnocchi become more soft/soggy over time. I highly recommend enjoying this soup the day of and one day after for leftovers.
