Tomato soup is comfort food at its best! Whether you are dipping a grilled cheese sandwich in it, or just trying to stay warm, nothing beats it. I personally love how versatile the soup is.

I am always experimenting with how I can garnish my tomato soup. Some of my favorites include homemade croutons and fresh pesto. Pasta is another favorite.

That was the inspiration for this recipe.

I love gnocchi, but a heaping bowl of it is sometimes too much. That is, if I want to get anything done afterward. It usually leaves me in a comatose state. This recipe allows me to indulge a bit without the post-meal nap.

Ingredients

• 32 ounces tomato soup
• 1 cup gnocchi
• 1/4 cup basil pesto
• Black pepper

Directions

OK, so you probably aren't going to cook just 1 cup of gnocchi. Make the whole package per the instructions. Remember, when cooking pasta it is important to salt the water appropriately.

In a medium saucepan, warm the tomato soup over a medium-high heat.

Once the soup is warmed, divide it between your soup bowls and also divide the gnocchi.

Garnish each bowl of soup with a drizzle of pesto and some cracked black pepper.
