Description
This silky and creamy vegan gnocchi soup is packed with herby flavor, pillowy soft gnocchi, and loads of veggies. It’s simple and easy to make in under 30 minutes, but tastes just like the classic comfort soup – yet somehow better!
Ingredients
- 1 batch vegan gnocchi or store-bought vegan gnocchi
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup oat milk, almond milk, or cashew cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or einkorn flour
- 7–8 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 large carrots, chopped
- 1 head celery, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp mustard powder
- 12 ounces cannellini beans
- 2–3 cups chopped kale or spinach
- Optional: 1 cup shredded vegan parmesan cheese
- Sea salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Prep the vegetables and aromatics. If making homemade gnocchi, begin preparing potatoes, but wait to shape gnocchi until broth is boiling.
2. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and onion; sauté until fragrant and translucent.
3. Add carrots and celery; continue sautéing until carrots are slightly soft, about 5 minutes.
4. Pour in vegetable broth and add parsley, thyme, basil, and mustard powder. Bring to a boil.
5. While broth is heating, shape gnocchi dough and prepare individual gnocchi.
6. Once boiling, add gnocchi to the broth. Stir and allow to cook until gnocchi rise to the surface.
7. Meanwhile, whisk together almond milk and flour to make a roux.
8. Once gnocchi are cooked, reduce heat to a simmer and stir in the roux. Cover and cook 5–10 minutes or until thickened.
9. Stir in kale and cannellini beans. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook until kale is wilted, about 3–4 minutes.
10. Serve hot and enjoy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free gnocchi and 1:1 gluten-free baking flour that contains xanthan gum.
Feel free to use Italian seasoning instead of individual herbs.
This soup reheats well and develops even more flavor after storing.
Cauliflower or sweet potato gnocchi are great alternatives.
