    Ingredients:

    • olive oil: 2 Tablespoons
    • white onion: 1 large, diced
    • garlic: 4 cloves, chopped
    • celery: 2 stalks, chopped
    • potato: 1, diced
    • 28 oz. crushed San Marzano Tomatoes: 2 cans
    • chicken or vegetable Broth: 1 Quart
    • dried oregano: 1/2 Tablespoon
    • salt: 1 Tablespoon
    • pepper: 1 teaspoon
    • grated parmesan: 1/2 Cup (plus more for serving)
    • Fresh basil: 1/2 cup, chopped (plus more for serving)
    • gnocchi: 1 shelf-stable package (17.6 oz.)

    Directions:

    Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a stock-pot over a medium-high flame. Add the diced onion and sauté until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes(stirring continuously). Add the chopped garlic and celery, and sauté for another 5 minutes. 

    Step 2: Add the diced potato, cans of San Marzano tomatoes, broth, dried oregano and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.

    Step 3: Reduce to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook for at least 30 minutes (can go longer if you have the time). 

    Step 4: After at least 30 minutes of cooking time, add the parmesan cheese and basil. Blend the soup using an immersion blender. Blend until smooth. 

    Step 5: Put the pot back on the fire and add the gnocchi. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the gnocchi is cooked through. 

    Step 6: Serve hot with extra grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
