What a splendid recipe ! I'm very eaker to cook it for my baby when he will be a bit more older 🥰


Jen - Dec. 12, 2024, 4:24 p.m.

This looks amazing! Do you have any gluten free suggestions if I’m unable to find gluten free gnocchi in my area? Would a gluten free pasta work in this recipe? Thank you!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 12, 2024, 5:01 p.m.

Hey Jen! You can use gluten-free pasta as a substitute if you can't find gluten-free gnocchi. Just make sure to cook it according to package instructions, and perhaps add it at the end. You could also use cornstarch or arrowroot powder as a thickener in place of the all-purpose flour 🫶


Věra - Dec. 11, 2024, 8:13 p.m.

God, that was so good, thank you.


Sirisha - Dec. 10, 2024, 7:14 p.m.

Loved the recipe! The lemon is a must, not optional. It came together super easily and it was very hearty. I didn't have cream so I blended up some cashews with water and that did the trick. Also added kale instead of spinach, need to cook it a tad longer with kale but the overall taste was amazing! Thank you PUL team.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 10, 2024, 8:18 p.m.

Thanks for sharing your adjustments, and we’re so happy you enjoyed the gnocchi soup recipe, Sirisha! Happy cooking 😊✨


Elizabeth - Dec. 10, 2024, 1:58 a.m.

Easy meal and delicious. Thank you!


Dorka - Dec. 8, 2024, 5:33 p.m.

Lovely warming soup. Perfect to use ip any vegetables we had around


lini - Dec. 8, 2024, 3:29 p.m.

Loved it. The lemon is a must in my opinion at the end. I also added chilli flakes and the pepper as suggested. It is cold and I do enjoy some heat in my food and it was the perfect meal for a cold rainy day. It is quite fulfilling with a small portion though so be careful with the suggested portion sizes, but you can always keep the rest as leftover I guess. I did exactly as the recipe suggested but did not think it was thick. But the liquid consistency was fine with me. You may need to add some cornflour if you like thicker consistency in the soup.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 8, 2024, 7:53 p.m.

Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience with the gnocchi soup recipe, lini! It's indeed a thinner soup so we love the idea of adding a bit of cornflour. Adding more flour in step two will also make the soup thicker 🙌


KK - Dec. 8, 2024, 1:02 a.m.

Hearty soup! Simple yet declicious!


Pam - Dec. 7, 2024, 7:50 p.m.

This is pretty good, Totally different to what I'm used too. If I was to make it again I'd increase the garlic and reduce the herbs, but that's just for our tastes.


Freyha - Dec. 6, 2024, 7:18 a.m.

Great. Reminds me of a childhood-soup what's makes it tasting even better 🤩


Aileen - Dec. 6, 2024, 5:38 a.m.

Not my favorite PUL recipe, but I still ate the leftovers. I wouldn’t remake.


Ioana Andriescu - Dec. 5, 2024, 6:27 p.m.

Amazing!!! I loved it so much.
I tripled the garlic, and it turned out very similar in taste to one my favourite childhood soups, which unfortunately has chicken. So this was a very pleasant discovery.

Kendall - Dec. 5, 2024, 12:57 a.m.

Incredible- definitely add lemon. We also added avocado as a garnish to the second bowl. So good on a cold evening.


Lovindy - Dec. 4, 2024, 8:34 p.m.

S(o)uper easy! Made big batch for 2 times dinner and a lunch. Used kale instead of spinach, just need to cook a bit longer but sooo delicious.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 4, 2024, 8:58 p.m.

Yayy glad the gnocchi soup was enjoyed, Lovindy! 😊


Megan Wynd - Dec. 3, 2024, 2:52 a.m.

Wow!! Love recipes that take simple, humble ingredients and make them shine. This is fantastic! Perfect for a dark, chilly night.


John - Dec. 1, 2024, 7:38 p.m.

Very good. Gnocchi acts like pillowy little dumplings.


Sarah Miller - Nov. 30, 2024, 11:13 p.m.

This was really good! I swapped out the cooking cream for some oat milk and added a bit of cornstarch at the end because I wanted it to be a smidge thicker. Overall very good and plan to make again!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 1, 2024, 12:53 a.m.

Mmm sounds lovely, Sarah! So glad that you enjoyed it ✨


Danielle - Nov. 29, 2024, 10:05 p.m.

Which kind of miso paste do you use? The red or white?

Also, what can you substitute the nutritional yeast with if you don’t have it? Could you even use cheese if you are vegetarian and not vegan?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Nov. 29, 2024, 11:25 p.m.

Hey Danielle, we tend to use white (also called shiro) miso paste as it's less salty and milder in taste. You can opt for other types, such as red miso paste if you like a saltier taste.

The nutritional yeast adds a creaminess and cheesy taste to the dish which is tricky to mimic with any other plant-based substitute. Perhaps trying finely ground cashews or almonds, or simply omitting the nutritional yeast could work. We only use plant-based ingredients here, so we haven't tried it with cheese. Hope this helps for now, and that you enjoy the gnocchi soup recipe if you give it a try 🤗✨


Gia - Nov. 29, 2024, 5:39 p.m.

This is pure comfort in a bowl! It wraps you up like a warm blanket on a gloomy day. Absolutely incredible! ❤️


Belinda - Nov. 29, 2024, 12:12 p.m.

I switched out the celery for leek and added some mushrooms that needed to be used - turned out absolutely delicious!


Melody Dusastre - Nov. 29, 2024, 2:44 a.m.

This soup was INCREDIBLE. A new staple. The lemon is such a delicious touch.


Kim - Nov. 28, 2024, 11:22 p.m.

Turned out quite watery, had to thicken it with tapioca starch.
It was tasty, but we weren't as blown away as other commenters.


Ch&H - Nov. 28, 2024, 5:18 p.m.

Highly recommended! This soup is the perfect comfort food - creamy and hearty. We loved it. Luckily I made 4 portions, so we had leftovers for lunch.


Magdolna Boldizsár - Nov. 27, 2024, 8:19 p.m.

I love it! I ate 2 big bowls soup in one times. I think I used more peas.


Jason - Nov. 27, 2024, 8:05 p.m.

I used coconut milk in lieu of soy cream and it was delicious! Every time I eat gnocchi I ask myself "Why don't I have this more often?" So I'll definitely make it a regular pantry staple because this came together pretty quickly and I would make it again.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Nov. 27, 2024, 10:51 p.m.

We're smiling from ear to ear hearing this, Jason! So happy that the gnocchi soup recipe was a success 🥰


Mandy - Nov. 26, 2024, 8:56 p.m.

Really nice and comforting, and quick!


Athina - Nov. 26, 2024, 2:03 p.m.

Delicious!


Alaura Ortiz - Nov. 26, 2024, 4:08 a.m.

Made this for dinner tonight and used coconut milk as the cream and holy cow it’s absolutely to die for!! I wasn’t a fan of gnocchi until this delicious soup. Thank you for the wonderful recipe

PUL small logo PUL Team - Nov. 26, 2024, 3:08 p.m.

Such a big compliment, Alaura! So glad that the gnocchi soup was enjoyed 😊


Roxanne - Nov. 25, 2024, 5:51 p.m.

One of my favorite soup recipe ever! It was amazing


Leah - Nov. 25, 2024, 8:11 a.m.

I made this tonight and really liked it! The gnocchi added a fun texture to the soup.
