Turkey Gnocchi Soup

What is gnocchi and how do you pronounce it?  Doesn't matter...it is good! YUMO!
Gnocchi  N(Y)OK-ee - The word gnocchi may be derived from the Italian word nocchio, meaning a knot in wood, or from nocca, meaning knuckle.  It has been a traditional type of Italian pasta.

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 medium carrots, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 cups water
  • 3 teaspoons reduced-sodium chicken base
  • 3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 package (16 ounces) potato gnocchi
  • 2 cups cubed cooked turkey breast
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions
1. In a Dutch oven, heat butter over medium heat. Add carrots; cook and stir 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.

2. Stir in water, chicken base and Italian seasoning; bring to a boil. Add gnocchi. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 3-4 minutes or until gnocchi float. Stir in turkey, peas and pepper; heat through. Top servings with cheese.

Freeze option: Freeze cooled soup in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding water if necessary.

TUPPS TIDBITS:   needed more salt/pepper

Warm homemade soup. It was perfect on a cold rainy day! Enjoy.
