The inspiration for this recipe comes from my Italian heritage-my mom was a wonderful soup maker. Using frozen gnocchi saves time and adds extra heartiness to this chunky soup. -Barbara Estabrook, Rhinelander, Wisconsin

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to my usual minestrone recipe.

Wow! This is one of the best minestrone soups I've ever had. The gnocchi was the perfect addition.

Not bad, but not great. The gnocchi was a bit too dense for my taste, and the minestrone was a bit bland.

This was a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some kale to the minestrone, and it was a nice addition.

Amazing! Perfect comfort food for a cold day. I added some extra vegetables to the minestrone, like carrots and celery, and it turned out great.
