Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces fresh gnocchi
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • 6 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Fresh basil
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Press the saute function on the instant pot and add the butter. Once the butter melts, add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes or until translucent. 
  • Turn off the saute function and stir in the fresh garlic. Let the garlic and onion sit for about 20 seconds.
  • Add the chicken stock and crushed tomatoes. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen the stuck bits at the bottom.
  • Add the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, brown sugar, granulated garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot, and make sure the pressure valve is set to 'sealing'.
  • Press the soup button, and let the Instant Pot cook the soup.
  • When the Pot is done, it will beep and go to 'off'.  Do a quick release - With a potholder, and carefully, turn the pressure valve from 'SEALING' to 'VENTING', and release the pressure from the pot - this may take a couple of minutes.  When the pressure is completely released, the float valve will dropdown.  MAKE SURE THE FLOAT VALVE IS DOWN, BEFORE OPENING THE LID.
  • Once the float valve is down, remove the lid to the Instant Pot.  Add the 1/3 cup of heavy cream, and stir.  Add the Gnocchi, and stir into the soup.
  • Most fresh Gnocchi only needs to cook for 1 - 2 minutes.  After a couple of minutes, the Gnocchi should be done, tender, but still a little firm.  Place in a soup bowl to serve, and sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese.  Serve with your favorite croutons, bread or crackers. Enjoy!
