Ingredients
- A pack of potato gnocchi (16 ounces)
- A drizzle of olive oil (1 tablespoon)
- Chopped pieces of a petite onion
- Finely chopped garlic cloves (2)
- Chunks of a verdant bell pepper
- Sliced red bell pepper
- Diced Cubanelle peppers (2)
- A generous container of vegetable broth (32 fluid ounces)
- Canned diced tomatoes (28 ounces)
- Fresh basil leaves, chopped finely
- A sprinkle of red pepper flakes
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Grated Parmesan cheese to garnish (2 tablespoons)
Step 1
Begin by bringing a generously salted large pot of water to a lively boil. Gently drop the gnocchi into the bubbling water, allowing them to rise to the surface, which typically takes around 2 to 4 minutes. Once done, carefully drain them.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in another large pot over medium heat, warm up some oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until they turn a lovely golden brown, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Introduce the vibrant colors of the green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and Cubanelle peppers into the mix, letting them cook for an additional 2 minutes. Next, pour in the vegetable broth and add the tomatoes. Let the soup come to a rolling boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer until the peppers have softened, typically about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Enhance the flavors by stirring in fresh basil and a dash of red pepper flakes, adjusting the taste with salt and pepper to your liking. Gently fold in the cooked gnocchi and let them warm through for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve the comforting soup in bowls, topping it off with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Enjoy the hearty and flavorful meal!
