Ingredients

3 cups of water, approx

6 tomatoes (I used a mix of yellow and beefsteak tomatoes)

3 wholes carrots and a bunch of baby carrots, chopped up

1/2 yellow onion, chopped up

1 clove of garlic, minced

1 stalk of scallions, chopped up

1 bunch of fresh basil

1 bunch of fresh thyme

1 bunch of fresh lemon thyme

1 package of gnocchi, optional

salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Add water to a medium-sized pot and let boil. Chop up the onions, garlic, scallions and fresh herbs and add them to the pot. Chop up the carrots and tomatoes and add them. Cover and let cook for 30 minutes. In another pot, start the gnocchi and let cook for 10 minutes. Taste the soup -- adding more seasonings (if needed) and turn off the flame. Blend the soup to your liking and pour it in a bowl. Add the gnocchi on top. Enjoy!
