Servings 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.
