    Special Diet Notes & Options: Creamy Kale and Gnocchi Soup

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, peanut-free, soy-free, vegan, and vegetarian. Just be sure to choose your broth wisely.

    For gluten-free and dairy-free gnocchi soup, believe it or not, there are a few brands of gluten-free gnocchi! At last check, it looked like La Veneziane, Conte, and DeLallo are dairy-free, too, though a couple do contain eggs.

    For nut-free and dairy-free gnocchi soup, So Delicious offers Coconut Milk Beverage that can be used in place of the almond milk.

      Loved this! I subbed Silk Coconut Milk for the almond milk, added a bit of basil and oregano and more carrots and kale. My kids even liked it!

      I subbed spinach for the kale because that’s what I had on hand, used the Better Than Bouillion’s No Chicken Base like Steven (above comment) did, added diced Beyond Meat chicken strips for to appease the omnivores in the house. This was absolutely fantastic!! This is the perfect chicken-less soup, no need to look any further. The gnocchi reminded me of dumplings, making this a chicken and dumpling sort of experience. Perfect comfort food, adding this to my regular rotation. Thank you!

      I used half a cup of cashews blended in 2 cups of water instead of almond milk and sweet potato gnocchi because I had those things on hand.

      I used Better Than Bouillion’s No Chicken Base instead of vegetable broth because I wanted a “chicken” flavor (truly the best “chicken broth” I’ve ever tasted, better than the real thing even).

      The spices in this are perfection, the taste is divine. It was a very rich and satisfying soup. I especially love the kale because it’s kind of tough in comparison to the soft gnocchi. This is a recipe I will have to remember because I loved it so much.
