Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

2 cans (14.5 oz each) diced tomatoes, undrained

4 cups vegetable broth

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

1 pound potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)

2 cups fresh spinach

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

    Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, letting it cook for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

      Blend for Creaminess: Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a standard blender. Return the blended soup to the pot over low heat.

        Stir in Cream and Gnocchi: Add the heavy cream or coconut milk to the soup and stir until well combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Bring the soup back to a simmer, then add the gnocchi. Cook according to package instructions, usually 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface.

          Final Touches: Once the gnocchi is cooked, stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.

            Serve: Ladle the warm soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy your cozy bowl of comfort!
