    Soup season is in full swing...and I am here for it! This soup is hearty, but still light enough to eat for lunch. The broth is a mix of vegan chicken broth (or veggie), crushed tomatoes and non-dairy cream. There is fiber and protein from the chickpeas and quinoa. There are plenty of veggies. AND gnocchi makes everything taste better. It's just the perfect mix.

    How to make Creamy Quinoa Gnocchi Soup

    This soup starts out the same way as most soups. Cooking down onions, garlic, carrots and seasonings in a little bit of oil, until tender. After a few minutes, add some sun-dried tomatoes and cook a few more minutes.

    Add in the chickpeas, quinoa, crushed tomatoes and broth. Bring it to a boil, cover partially and lower heat. Let the soup cook down for 20-ish minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked through.

    5 minutes before serving, add the gnocchi, non-dairy cream and your greens of choice (I used spinach). Once the gnocchi floats to the top, you'll know it's ready. Give it one last taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.

    How to serve Creamy Quinoa Gnocchi Soup

    When it comes to serving this soup, you really don't have to do much - it is a pretty complete meal on its own. BUT, some little extras that make this even better are fresh basil and a side of crusty bread. Because dunking bread in soup is the best!

    This soup holds up well as leftovers, but the quinoa will continue to absorb the broth as it sits. So if you prefer your leftovers to have a more brothy consistency, then I would cook the quinoa separately and add it to individual portions.

    This is a super easy vegan soup and definitely needs to be on your rotation in the colder months!

    Notes

    *I used vegan chicken broth, but you can sub with veggie broth.
    **I used Ripple - I find this in the coffee creamer section.
    ***FOR LEFTOVERS: the quinoa will continue to absorb the broth as it sits. If you prefer your leftovers to be more brothy, then you may want to cook the quinoa separately and add it to individual portions.

      Would you recommend decreasing liquid if cooking the quinoa separately?

        Hi Kim - I would keep it the same, but I also enjoy a soup with a lot of broth. If you want less broth, you could omit 1 cup of broth.
