There is something truly special about a bowl of soup that feels like a warm hug. This tomato gnocchi soup has become a staple in my kitchen because it is both incredibly comforting and simple to put together on a busy weeknight. The secret is the splash of white wine vinegar, which brings a bright, tangy note to the rich tomato base.

I love using mini gnocchi because they are perfectly sized for a spoonful of broth, but regular gnocchi works just as well. You do not need to boil them separately either, which saves you an extra pot to clean. It is a fantastic, filling meal that always leaves everyone asking for seconds.

Ingredients

  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 can (28 ounces) San Marzano style petite diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 package (16 ounces) potato gnocchi
  • Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the diced onion and cook for about 5 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.

  3. 3

    Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for one more minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Pour in the white wine vinegar and cook until it has mostly evaporated.

  5. 5

    Add the chopped basil, canned tomatoes with their juices, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper.

  6. 6

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

  7. 7

    Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.

  8. 8

    Bring the soup back to a light simmer and drop in the gnocchi.

  9. 9

    Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the gnocchi rise to the surface, stirring occasionally.

  10. 10

    Serve warm with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top.

💡 Tips

Serve this soup with a side of crusty garlic bread or a simple grilled cheese sandwich for dipping. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Keep in mind that the gnocchi will absorb some liquid, so you may want to add a splash of broth when reheating.
