MINESTRONE SOUP WITH GNOCCHI
It’s soup weather. Making fresh gnocchi for minestrone soup tonight. Using up all the veggies in fridge for the soup.
Minestrone is essentially a thick Italian vegetable based soup with pasta.
- mushrooms
- onion
- carrots
- baby marrow
- baby spinach leaves
- ½ a bottle of passata tomato sauce
- 2 tomatoes, grated
- 1 oxtail or vegetable stock cube
- 1 cup of pasta shapes or pasta rice or gnocchi
I added the passata tomato sauce, tomatoes oxtail stock cube into the pot.
Simmer until the vegetables are done but not soft and mushy.
Add a cup of pasta shapes or pasta rice and simmer until done.
If using freshly made gnocchi, add right at the end of cooking time as it cooks through within a minute or two.
Serve with crusty bread and butter.
