Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 carrot, finely chopped

2 stalks celery, finely chopped

1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes

4 cups vegetable broth

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 package (16 ounces) gnocchi

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a lighter version)

1 cup fresh spinach

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for serving)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté the 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, carrot, and celery, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened.

    Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir to combine. Add the dried basil, oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), and season with salt and pepper to taste.

      Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

        Cook the Gnocchi: While the soup is simmering, add the gnocchi to the pot. Cook according to the package instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes, until they float to the surface.

          Incorporate Cream: Once the gnocchi are cooked, gently stir in the heavy cream and fresh spinach. Allow the spinach to wilt for a couple of minutes.

            Add Cheese: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until creamy and well combined. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.

              Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

                Enjoy! Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
