Tomato Soup with Homemade Gnocchi
Another pantry staple meal! I had never made homemade gnocchi and I’m amazed it’s so simple. I followed @pastasocialclub recipe on their website and ate it with this tomato soup I made up on the fly.
Gnocchi is made with very minimal ingredients that you might have around during this quarantine time – flour, one big potato, egg, parmesan, and salt.
The gnocchi recipe can be found on Pasta Social Club’s site. I don’t have a ricer so I used a potato masher and next time I think I’ll try a little harder to really get those lumps out!
Tomato Soup:
- 1 bell pepper (or onion), diced
- 1 28oz can tomatoes (I used whole tomatoes, but if you only have crushed or puree that’ll work too!)
- 1 cup broth (bone broth, veggie broth, water, whatever you have!)
- 1/4 c balsamic vinegar
- Fresh herbs like thyme, basil, or oregano. If you don’t have these around, use dried herbs! About 1/2-1 tsp of each above if you have it.
- salt and pepper
- 1/4 c cream (or milk, coconut milk, half n half, whatever you got)
- add ins: leftover chicken, greens (I used kale)
Saute the bell pepper or onion until soft in some olive oil. Pour in the tomatoes and the broth. Blend with an immersion (stick) blender or carefully in a blender. Bring to a low simmer and add in the herbs and salt/pepper. Cover and turn down to low. Cook for an hour or longer. Remove the lid, bring the heat up to medium and cook until thickens – maybe 30 min. Stir in the cream and the add-ins. Serve with the gnocchi!

Looks yummy. I’m going to make. this on the weekend. How was the gnocchi cooked? The recipe doesn’t say how w/o cook it, but it looks like it was sautéed or possibly lightly baked in the oven before added to the soup.
