Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Allow it to warm for about 2 minutes until shimmering, which indicates it’s ready.
  2. Add one diced onion and two minced garlic cloves to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  3. Add two diced carrots and two diced celery stalks, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften and meld their flavors.
  4. Pour in 6 cups of vegetable broth, stirring to combine all the sautéed ingredients. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
  5. Once boiling, carefully add 16 ounces of gnocchi to the pot. Allow them to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and gently stir in 1 cup of heavy cream (or coconut cream for a vegan option) into your soup.
  7. Add 2 cups of fresh spinach to the pot and stir gently. The spinach will wilt down in just 1-2 minutes.
  8. Season the soup generously with salt and pepper to taste, stirring to distribute the flavors evenly. Serve hot.

Notes

Gentle stirring when adding cream prevents curdling. Use high-quality vegetable broth for a richer flavor. Freezing is possible without cream; add it back during reheating for best results.
