Ingredients
  

2 tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes

2 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp dried basil

1/2 tsp dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup heavy cream

1 package (16 oz) gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)

Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional for serving)

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 and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

    Add the Tomato Base: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine. Add the sugar, dried basil, oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

      Incorporate Cream: After simmering, stir in the heavy cream and mix well, creating a rich, velvety texture. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

        Cook the Gnocchi: In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi, cooking them according to package instructions (typically about 2-3 minutes or until they float to the top). Drain the gnocchi and set aside.

          Combine & Serve: Gently fold the cooked gnocchi into the creamy tomato soup. Allow them to warm through for another minute. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

            Garnish and Enjoy: Serve hot, garnishing each bowl with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Dive into this comforting bowl of goodness!
