Gnocchi Tomato Soup

with sun dried tomatoes and white beans!

Soup season has arrived! I had a follower DM me yesterday and ask, “What do you mean ‘soup season?’ Here in Portugal, we eat soup year round.”

It’s funny, because I know soup can be eaten any time of year, and I’m confident people here in the US do indeed enjoy soup all year round. I, however, definitely fall into the category of people who exclusively crave soup during the fall and winter seasons.

Now that temps are dropping and people have made a sharp turn into fall recipes online, I find myself in the thick of soup season! To kick off this joyous time of year, we are starting off with a vegetarian soup recipe made with gnocchi, white beans, and sun-dried tomatoes. It’s nice and creamy, thanks to the coconut milk and gnocchi, which releases its starches into the soup, and it’s very hearty, which is how I prefer my soups.

It took me a while to become a soup person, but it was because so many soups left me feeling empty and didn’t fill me up, and I do not like that feeling (obviously). So, the soups that I develop myself will be hearty and nourishing and not just a little bit of broth. I want to be full and satisfied! I want a big spoonful of goodness when I eat soup!

This soup is loaded with veggies (onions, celery, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach), spices (oregano, thyme, red pepper), gnocchi, and white beans, and you can keep it completely plant-based as is, or you can top it with some grated Parmesan cheese, which I found delicious. Either way, it’s an easy, one-pot recipe that’s fresh and delicious, and quite honestly, worth eating all year round!

RECIPE!

soup is surprisingly hard to photograph!
