Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes

2 cups vegetable broth

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon sugar (to balance acidity)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free option)

1 package (16 ounces) potato gnocchi

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional for serving)

Instructions
 

Sauté Onions and Garlic: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine the ingredients.

      Season the Soup: Add the dried basil, dried oregano, sugar, and season with salt and pepper. Let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

        Blend the Soup: For a smooth texture, use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot. Alternatively, transfer it to a blender in batches, then return it to the pot.

          Incorporate Cream: Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut cream) and let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes on low heat. Adjust seasoning if needed.

            Cook the Gnocchi: In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, usually around 2-3 minutes, until they float to the top. Drain and set aside.

              Combine Gnocchi with Soup: Once the soup is ready, gently fold in the cooked gnocchi. Stir to ensure that the gnocchi are well-coated with the creamy soup.

                Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves. If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top. Enjoy your comforting bowl of creamy tomato soup with gnocchi!
