An Italian take on gnocchi soup: mincetrone, rich in vegetables, is made with potato gnocchi. The Parmesan rind is optional, but it adds a richer, deeper flavor to the soup. Be sure to remove the rind from the pot when the soup is ready.



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:


  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil + extra for drizzling
  • 2 stalks celery, cut into pieces
  • 2 carrots, cut into pieces
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 can (425 g) canned diced tomatoes
  • 1 small sprig of rosemary
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese + 1 small rind (optional)
  • 1 small head escarole, chopped
  • 1 package (450 gr.) gnocchi

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add celery, carrots, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; cook for 1 minute.
  2. Add 6 cups of water, tomatoes, rosemary, Parmesan rind, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until the vegetables are very soft, about 15 minutes. Add the escarole and simmer until wilted, about 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. Add the gnocchi and cook, stirring gently, until tender, about 3 minutes. Discard the rosemary sprig and Parmesan rind. Ladle the soup into bowls, sprinkle with grated Parmesan, and drizzle with olive oil.
