Tomato Gnocchi Florentine Soup

Grilled cheese and tomato soup is one of my favorite meals. There is something about the delicious combination that is so comforting! I wanted the same effect today, but I'm going for something even yummier. I love this soup because we always have these ingredients on hand, and it's so easy to toss together. Gnocchi adds a delicious twist to a pretty basic soup.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp olive oil

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 2 Tbsp minced garlic

  • 3 cups chicken (or beef) broth

  • 2 (14.5 oz) cans diced tomatoes

  • 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce

  • 1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp pepper

  • 1 tsp dried basil

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 1 package prepared gnocchi (found in the pasta aisle of your supermarket)

  • Garnish: shredded Parmesan and fresh parsley
