Enhanced Creamy Gnocchi Soup

Inspired by @consciouschris on Instagram, part of his “Lazy Trader Joe’s Meals” series. I made some pretty serious modifications that I wouldn’t go without, hence the enhanced version! This recipe can easily be made vegan by using vegan cheese.

Sauté the holiday hash. I added garlic powder at this stage as well

Add beans, nutritional yeast, cheese, and broth to the blender. Add Greek seasoning- the original recipe called for herb Boursin. Optional: add a generous gloop of the bean liquid as well

Step 4

Blend until smooth. Add more liquid as needed

Step 5

Transfer blended mixture to pot on stove and heat on medium. Add the rest of the herbs to taste

Add the pressed and cubed tofu. I used what I had, which was about 2/3 of a block. Just add as much as you want

Add the gnocchi. It’s ready when they bob to the top, ~4 min

Step 8

Serve with toasted pepitas, croutons, coconut milk, fresh herbs, or any other garnish
