Ingredients:
For this creamy gnocchi soup recipe, you’ll need:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
12 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
1 package (16 oz) potato gnocchi
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Sauté the Aromatics:
In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
2. Cook the Mushrooms:
Add sliced mushrooms and dried thyme. Sauté for 6–8 minutes until mushrooms are golden brown and their moisture evaporates. Season with salt and black pepper.
3. Add Broth & Gnocchi:
Pour in the broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add gnocchi and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the gnocchi float to the surface.
4. Make it Creamy:
Reduce heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the soup is thick, creamy, and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
5. Garnish & Serve:
Ladle into bowls and top with fresh chopped parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread or a light salad.
