Vegan Gnocchi Soup
This Italian-inspired vegetable-packed soup features flavorful herbs, mushrooms, kale and tomatoes. Shelf-stable potato gnocchi are vegan, but if you want to make this soup gluten-free or lower in carbs, try cauliflower gnocchi instead.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and carrots; cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic and continue cooking and stirring until softened, about 4 minutes more. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
