Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Serves 4 people

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 carrots chopped
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 1 leek just the white and light green parts, chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 box stock approx 4 cups, I’m using Kettle & Fire
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt & pepper
  • 14 oz Gnocchi
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Optional: basil cream, parmesan

Instructions
 

  • Chop 2-3 carrots, 1 onion, 2 celery stalks, and 1 leek (white and light green parts). Smash and peel 6 garlic cloves.
  • In a large pot, add in the chopped vegetables and garlic. Pour in 4 cups of stock (I used Kettle & Fire) and 2 cups of water. Add 1 bay leaf, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the vegetables for about 20 minutes until they’re tender.
  • Remove the bay leaf. Scoop the vegetables out of the broth and place them in a blender (or use an immersion blender). Blend until smooth, then return the mixture to the pot with the broth.
  • Bring the soup back to a bubble over medium heat. Add the gnocchi to the pot and cook for about 2 minutes, or until the gnocchi float to the top.
  • Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Optional: Add a splash of cream or garnish with freshly torn basil and parmesan if desired.
