Blogmas - Day 4

Hello Friends!  I am so glad you are here!  Welcome to Blogmas - Day Four!

Since it is so cold I thought I would share a soup recipe with you.  I'm sure everyone knows this recipe but we had it for supper tonight and it hit the spot!  It's simple and filling.  Just right for a cold night.  I hope you will make it!

Gnocchi Mushroom Soup

Ingredients

 1 Tbsp olive oil
 8 oz. mushrooms (sliced)
 1cup heavy cream

1/2 cup chicken broth

16 oz. potato gnocchi

4 cloves minced garlic

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

a handful of fresh spinach

salt, black pepper and red pepper (to taste)

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large, tall saucepan.  Cook mushrooms on high for a couple of minutes.  Reduce heat to medium.  Add all other ingredients except spinach and bring to a boil.  Stir well.  Slow boil for about 3 minutes.  Reduce heat to simmer, cover with lid and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.  Remove lid and add spinach.  Cook until the spinach wilts.  Cook longer for a thicker soup.  Season with salt and pepper.  Top with red pepper flakes and shredded parmesan cheese.  Serve with garlic toast or a crusty bagette.

Let me know if you make this yummy, satisfying soup!

See you tomorrow for Blogmas - Day 5!

Grace & Peace,
