Ingredients

Gnocchi

  • 1 cup Simple Squash Puree

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, plus shavings for garnish

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • Kosher salt

Soup

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

  • 2 leeks, white and tender green parts, finely chopped

  • 1 small celery rib, finely chopped

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 1 plum tomato—peeled, seeded and finely diced

  • 2 tablespoons minced parsley

  • 1 teaspoon minced sage

  • Freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the Squash Puree with the flour, egg, Parmesan, nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and stir until smooth.

  2. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the leeks and celery and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are softened. Add the broth and tomato and bring to a boil.

  3. Cut 1/2 inch off the corner of a sturdy plastic bag. Spoon the gnocchi dough into the bag. Gently squeeze the bag, cutting 1/2-inch lengths of dough into the simmering soup. Cook until the gnocchi rise to the surface; stir once and cook for 1 minute more. Add the parsley and sage and season with salt and pepper. Serve the soup with the shaved Parmesan.
