Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, finely diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)

1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes

4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 package (16 oz) gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup fresh spinach (or kale), chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Add Herbs and Tomatoes: Sprinkle in the dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine and cook for another minute, allowing the herbs to bloom. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, mixing well.

      Pour in Broth: Add the vegetable or chicken broth to the pot, stirring until well combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, letting the flavors meld.

        Incorporate Gnocchi: Bring the soup back to a gentle boil and add the gnocchi. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes, until the gnocchi are floating and tender.

          Make it Creamy: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, mixing thoroughly. If the soup is too thick for your liking, add a splash more broth or water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Add Greens: Just before serving, stir in the chopped spinach (or kale) and let it wilt for about 2 minutes in the warmth of the soup.

              Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of flavor.
