Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package gnocchi
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by dicing the onion, mincing the garlic, draining and chopping the artichoke hearts, and measuring out the spinach and other ingredients.
- Heat a large soup pot over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil or vegetable broth for sautéing.
- Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and slightly softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30-45 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine and create a creamy base for the soup.
- Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer and add the chopped artichoke hearts.
- Carefully add the gnocchi to the simmering soup and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the gnocchi begin to float to the surface.
- Stir in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt into the soup, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors as needed.
- Remove the soup from heat and let it rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Ladle the hot soup into serving bowls and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your onion, garlic, and artichoke hearts before you start cooking. This will streamline the process and make it easier to focus on perfecting the soup.
- Sautéing Technique: When sautéing the onion, make sure to stir frequently to avoid burning and to achieve that perfect translucent texture. This step adds depth to the flavor of your soup.
- Adjusting Creaminess: If you prefer a creamier soup, feel free to add more coconut milk. You can also blend a portion of the soup for a thicker consistency.
- Gnocchi Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the gnocchi as they cook; they’re done when they float to the surface. Overcooking can make them mushy, so remove them from heat as soon as they rise.
- Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning towards the end. A sprinkle of fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice can elevate the flavors even more.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your soup with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal. Garnish with fresh herbs for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
