Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 medium onion chopped finely
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
- 1/2 tablespoon white sugar see note
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 pound uncooked potato gnocchi
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 generous handful fresh basil torn
Instructions
- Melt the oil & butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for about 5-7 minutes, or until it's lightly browned.
- Stir in the garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- Add the crushed tomatoes, broth, cream, sugar, Italian seasoning, and gnocchi. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes, stirring it occasionally. The broth will continue to thicken up the longer it cooks from the starch that the gnocchi releases.
- Season with salt & pepper as needed (I am generous with both) and add the fresh basil just before serving. Enjoy!
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Serves 4-6.
- The sugar enhances the natural sweetness of the tomatoes. You can leave it out if you prefer or add more as needed.
- Crushed tomatoes can vary from brand to brand, and some are a bit more chunky like the ones I used in the photos.
- If the soup gets too thick at any point, especially when reheating leftovers, you may want to add another splash of chicken broth or water.
