This soup is a twist on a classic tomato soup recipe, with the addition of roasted red peppers and spinach gnocchi. The soup is warming and comforting, perfect for a cold winter evening. Roasting the peppers adds a smoky flavor you won't get from using just canned tomatoes, giving the soup a richer taste. The gnocchi is fun to make and eat and adds a new texture element to the soup. This recipe can be made ahead of time and reheated for lunch or dinner throughout the week.
