Gnocchi are a great alternative to noodles in soups. The doughy potato dumplings absorb the broth's flavor and provide a delightful textural experience; and gnocchi work just as well with tomato-based broths as they do with a certain Italian restaurant's chicken soup. In short, adding gnocchi to a soup instantly makes it comfort food. Give chilly weeknights an extra dose of coziness by making one of these gnocchi soups.
