Oh man, oh man do I have an amazing soup for you today! One of my readers (thanks Brit!) shared this recipe and I couldn’t wait to make it. I like gnocchi but I’ve never had it in a stew. Also, I incorrectly assumed gnocchi was not vegan-friendly…but many brands are! So I scooped up all the ingredients and made this stew for a recent Soup Sunday…and IT. WAS. A. HIT! Matt could not stop raving about it. And although the kids were suspicious of the gnocchi (they’ve never had it), they loved it too!! Oh, and if you are not meat-free, you should totally add some Italian sausage to this.

I bet this would be good with vegan tortellini instead of gnocchi too!
