Creamy Vegan Gnocchi Soup
Living in the midwest, the winters can get very cold and this soup is one of my family’s favorites. This creamy gnocchi soup is all the things. It’s warm, comforting and eating just one bowl is near impossible.
It’s rich flavor and hardy texture will have family members and loved ones thinking you spent all day cooking. Little do they know, you spent your day doing the things you wanted and needed to do. Don’t feel bad about shopping, reading a book, taking a nap or getting your car washed. It’s our little ol’ secret that you bought the gnocchi and opened a few cans.
I hope the first few bites have you lost in the comfort, richness and delicious notes of this restaurant worthy soup.
–Enjoy
