It is no secret that I adore soup.

Not only are there an abundance of soup and stew recipes on this site, but anyone who knows me in real life has likely heard me wax poetic about the joys of soup.

What’s not to love? It’s comforting, warms you up, and usually comes together quickly and easily in one pot. It’s the perfect cold weather meal.

This Creamy White Bean & Gnocchi Soup is no exception. It might actually be one of my favorite soups to date!

When it comes to beans, cannellini beans are at the top for me. I love their creamy but hearty texture, and when it comes to comforting soup recipes, they are meant to be!

This recipe features creamy cannellini beans, the hearty flavors of fresh rosemary and sage, tomatoes, a creamy but light broth, and pillowy gnocchi.

Is anyone else’s mouth watering yet?

Because the beans and gnocchi add plenty of heft, I opted to keep this soup on the lighter side. Instead of cream or half-and-half, a mixture of Greek yogurt and milk serves as the creamy element in this broth. Not only does it thicken the soup with a touch of decadence, but it adds a lovely tang as well.

Yogurt is an incredible ingredient in so many recipes, and this one definitely benefits from its addition.

Ingredients You Need to Make This Creamy White Bean & Gnocchi Soup:

Olive oil
Onion
Garlic
Fresh rosemary and sage
Red pepper flakes
Bell pepper
Tuscan/Lacinato kale
Canned diced tomatoes
Canned cannellini beans
Vegetable broth
Shelf-stable gnocchi (I love the mini size for this)
2% plain Greek yogurt

How to Make This Creamy White Bean & Gnocchi Soup:

Start with the aromatics: heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook for 5 minutes. Add in the garlic, fresh herbs, and red pepper flakes and cook for another minute.
Add the veggies: stir in the diced bell pepper and chopped kale. Cook for 5 minutes or until the kale is beginning to soften.
Add the beans, tomatoes, and broth: stir in the canned tomatoes and beans, along with the broth, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the gnocchi: once the broth is simmering, stir in the gnocchi and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the gnocchi are tender (actual time will depend on the brand and size of the gnocchi you use).
Make the soup creamy with a yogurt-milk mixture: in a large measuring cup, whisk together the milk and yogurt until smooth. Stir it into the soup and cook until everything is heated through. Discard the rosemary stems. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
