Shoulder-Season Minestrone with Mini Gnocchi
FROM SUBSTACK
This batch of soup will make enough to feed a small crowd or, lacking that, provide leftovers for days. It freezes well too, so stash some for a rainy day! You can use fresh shell beans (like cranberry beans), dry beans cooked from scratch, or canned beans. If using either of the latter, add them to the pot along with the zucchini and green beans.
Serves many
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling
