This soup is a game-changer, folks! With the help of store-bought gnocchi, it’s a cinch to whip up a filling and flavorful meal that’ll become a staple in your household.
First, heat up some olive oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add in that gorgeous ground chuck and cook until it’s browned, breaking it up into tiny pieces as it cooks. This’ll take about 8 minutes, so be patient!

Next, add in those chopped onions, thinly sliced celery, and minced garlic. Cook until the veggies are soft and fragrant, stirring often to prevent burning. This’ll take another 8 minutes, but trust me, it’s worth it!
Now it’s time to add in the canned plum tomatoes, dried oregano, and lower-sodium chicken broth. Stir everything together, breaking up those tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the veggies are tender.

Once the veggies are tender, it’s time to add in the refrigerated gnocchi. Cook for just 3 minutes more, or until they’re lightly tender. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in some fresh spinach, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle each serving with grated Parmesan cheese and get ready to devour a bowl of comfort food heaven!
