Vegetarian Vegan Gnocchi Soup

Cook time30 min

This cozy, creamy soup is loaded with tender pillowy gnocchi, hearty white beans, and a colorful mix of onion, carrot, and celery simmered until deeply flavorful. A blend of soaked cashews stirred in near the end gives the broth a luxuriously velvety texture, while nutritional yeast and a splash of lemon juice add a savory, tangy depth that keeps every spoonful interesting. Fresh kale wilts right into the pot for a pop of color and a boost of greens, and a sprinkle of parsley on top finishes things off beautifully. It’s the kind of one-pot meal that feels indulgent but is built entirely from wholesome, plant-forward ingredients. This one is a fantastic pick for a vegetarian dinner rotation, easy enough for a weeknight yet satisfying enough to serve guests.
