You know those nights when you just want something comforting and satisfying?

This Creamy Vegan Italian Gnocchi Soup is my go-to for those moments!

I remember making it one rainy evening while reminiscing about family dinners filled with laughter and warmth.

It’s packed with wholesome ingredients, and I love how the gnocchi adds a delightful chewiness that makes every spoonful a joy.

Plus, it comes together in under 30 minutes, which is a win in my book!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using full-fat coconut oat milk for that rich creaminess, but you can use light coconut oat milk if you prefer. Gnocchi is really versatile; if you can’t find vegan gnocchi, feel free to use pasta instead. And don't skip the nutritional yeast—it adds a delightful cheesy flavor without any coconut cream!

Tips & Notes

  • I keep my nutritional yeast in a glass jar—stays fresh and ready for all my cheesy cravings!
  • For a little kick, try adding some red pepper flakes when you sauté the veggies.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I throw in some diced mushrooms for an earthy flavor—so good!
  • If I'm feeling fancy, I'll add a splash of white wine when sautéing the veggies.

Storage & Freezing

This soup keeps well in the fridge for about 3-4 days in an airtight container. Just reheat gently on the stove. If you want to freeze it, I recommend undercooking the gnocchi slightly, then freezing the soup in portions. Thaw and finish cooking the gnocchi when you're ready to enjoy it!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen gnocchi?

Absolutely! Just add a couple more minutes to the cooking time, and they'll be perfect.

What can I add to make it heartier?

You can toss in some cooked lentils or chickpeas for an extra protein boost!
