Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 medium onion (chopped finely)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 (28 fluid ounce) can crushed tomatoes (with juices)
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 pound uncooked potato gnocchi
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)
  • Handful fresh basil (torn (optional))

Instruction

  • Melt the oil & butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for about 5-7 minutes, or until it's lightly browned. 
  • Stir in the garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  • Add the crushed tomatoes, broth, water, cream, Italian seasoning, and gnocchi. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes, stirring it occasionally. The broth will continue to thicken up the longer it cooks from the starch that the gnocchi releases. 
  • Season with salt & pepper as needed and add the fresh basil just before serving. Enjoy!
