Tips:

  • Choose the right gnocchi: For the best texture, use fresh or frozen potato gnocchi. Avoid dried gnocchi, as they can become too chewy in soup.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the gnocchi, do not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming mushy.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even a combination of the two.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season the soup to taste. You may want to add additional salt, pepper, or herbs, depending on your preference.
  • Garnish before serving: Before serving, garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
