Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the gnocchi and cook them until they float to the surface, which usually takes about 2 to 4 minutes. Once they’re done, drain and set them aside.

Step 2

Heat some oil in a big pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, and cook them until they turn golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and Cubanelle peppers, and let everything cook together for another couple of minutes.

Step 3

Pour in the vegetable broth and canned tomatoes, then bring the soup to a boil. Turn the heat down and let it simmer until the peppers soften, which should take around 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the fresh basil and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, add the cooked gnocchi back into the pot and let everything warm through for 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 5

Serve the soup in bowls and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top for a delicious finish.
