Zuppa Arancione

Zuppa Arancione literally means “orange soup” in Italian. Use this thick, delicious, sweet and savory, hearty soup as a base for gnocchi. As with all my recipes, if you are using regular table salt, cut back the salt amount by one-third.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large sweet onion diced
2 large sweet potatoes or 1 butternut squash peeled and cubed (one and a half pounds total)
2 carrots peeled and cubed (half a pound total)
1 tablespoon kosher salt

Instructions

Heat oil in a 3- or 4- quart saucepan. Add diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes, until translucent. Add cubed sweet potatoes or butternut squash, carrots, and cover with 4 ½ cups water. Season with salt. Bring soup to a boil. Lower heat, partially cover pot, and simmer for 25 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Puree soup with a hand blender until smooth and creamy. Ladle into bowls; garnish each bowl with 3 gnocchi. Serve remaining gnocchi on the side, for adding to the soup as it is being eaten.
