Gnocchi is a delicious cross between pasta and a dumpling. It’s soft, comforting and the perfect addition to a warm bowl of tomato basil soup!
To bring the flavor to this easy recipe, I headed to my local Vons and picked up a jar of Barilla Tomato & Basil sauce. The flavor and texture of the sauce is inspired by the Countryside region of Italy.
The sauce starts with vine-ripened tomatoes that are then combined with aromatic herbs and extra virgin olive oil. Since the sauce is already perfectly seasoned, it limits the amount of ingredients needed in this recipe.
In fact, you only need 8 ingredients to make this recipe! And it’s easy to make it your own!
Want to add a few more veggies? Go ahead and toss in bell peppers, carrots or zucchini. Want to spice it up a bit? Add some red pepper flakes!

I love shopping at my local Vons because they have everything I need to make fresh, flavorful meals at home. I picked up everything I needed for this recipe in just a couple of aisles. The Barilla sauce was easy to find in the pasta aisle. Right now it’s 2 jars for $5 making the whole trip an even bigger win!
I found the refrigerated gnocchi I used to make this recipe near the deli counter. Dry gnocchi can be used in this recipe and is found in the pasta aisle near the Barilla sauce. Refrigerated, frozen, or dry gnocchi will all work for this recipe—cook times will just vary slightly.
This recipe is flavorful, fun and a delicious dinner that the entire family will love! Click HERE to learn more about all of the Barilla premium sauce flavors!
How to make Gnocchi Soup
- Saute veggies. Heat olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium high heat. Add onions, garlic and spinach. Sauté for 5 minutes.
- Quick Tip! Additional veggies, such as diced zucchini, bell peppers or carrots, can also be added and sautéed at the same time.
- Prepare the soup. Add a jar of Barilla Tomato & Basil sauce to the pot with vegetable broth. (Chicken broth can be used if you’re not vegetarian.) Bring to a simmer, then add potato gnocchi and continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove one piece of gnocchi after two minutes to check if it’s tender and cooked through.
- Serve the soup. Use a large ladle to transfer the soup to bowls. Top with fresh chopped basil and serve immediately.
- Quick Tip! Crushed red pepper flakes can also be added on top to spice up the soup!
What are gnocchi made of?
Gnocchi are Italian dumplings, traditionally made with flour and potatoes. They can also be made with mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes and various gluten-free flours to make gluten-free gnocchi.
Cooking gnocchi is as easy as boiling it for 2-3 minutes in water. For this soup recipe, we’re cooking it right in the soup!
