Creamy Chik’n Soup with Sweet Potato Gnocchi & Kale

Sweet Potato Gnocchi Soup An Unrefined Vegan

I don’t really want to rush time along, but this year winter has rudely muscled its way into spring and I’m aching for sunshine and warm temperatures.  This see-sawing act (hot…cold…hot…cold) is getting tiresome.

Because of the lingering chilliness, my stomach is still craving comforting stews and soups.  This one is particularly satisfying.  I’ve based this rich recipe on an Olive Garden concoction – except mine gets its creaminess from pureed white beans – not from cream.  The gnocchis are homemade with sweet potatoes rather than white potatoes, but you could use store-bought. Just make sure they’re vegan.

    Oh yes, you have reminded me of the joys of seitan….. with the husband having recently gone vegan, I KNOW he would LOVE this dish….. plus we are heading into Winter and this seems so warming & comforting. As always, bravo!

    Oh, this soup sounds so hearty and delicious! I love gnocchi, but I’ve never considered putting it in a soup before. This sounds like one that would really stick to your ribs. Plus, kale and sweet potatoes are always great together.

    It’s the same over here with the weather, only it’s not hot and cold, it’s vaguely warm and then cold again. We had hailstones today and it’s nearly May! Definitely a good excuse for more comfort food like this.

    This sounds much better than the OG version! I hate that the days are still cooler, but that does mean more soup!! However I had two days in a row of sunshine! YAHOO!
