Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes (preferably fire-roasted)

3 cups vegetable broth

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free version)

1 pound potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Parmesan cheese, grated (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

    Add Tomatoes and Spices: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir in the dried basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

      Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender (or a regular blender in batches), blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup or skip this step.

        Incorporate Cream: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the soup to gently heat through without boiling. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Cook the Gnocchi: In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the gnocchi according to package directions, usually until they float to the surface (about 3-4 minutes). Drain and set aside.

            Combine and Serve: Add the cooked gnocchi to the creamy tomato soup and stir gently to combine. Heat everything together for an additional minute.

              Garnish and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your cozy comfort food!
