Notes
You may need to adjust the simmer time based on the type of gnocchi that you use. I used frozen potato gnocchi and they were cooked through after around 8 minutes of simmering. Start checking the gnocchi (by carefully tasting one after blowing on it) around the 6-7 minute mark and then decide if you think it needs more simmer time or is cooked through.
You’ll know the gnocchi is cooked perfectly when it is soft and tender. The texture on the outside will be smooth and the texture on the inside will be light and similar to that of a dumpling. Gnocchi are basically like little potato pillows when they are cooked through.
Mini gnocchi work great in this soup also – and they’re adorable. I’m a real sucker for anything mini especially if it’s food! The mini gnocchi will likely need just a bit less time simmering as well. Depending on the listed cook time on the package, I’d start checking the mini gnocchi around 3-5 minutes to test and see if they’re done.
You can use any kind of bean in place of the chickpeas in this recipe. I am OBSESSED with garbanzo beans and just can’t get enough of them. Whether it’s Sheet Pan Chickpea Fajitas, Simple Chickpea Gyros, or Creamy Chickpea Noodle Soup – I’m a chickpea girl through and through. However, white beans (also called Great Northern beans), cannellini beans, would also be great!
