Notes
Want a gluten free or dairy free soup? You’re already there! Trader Joe’s Cauliflower Gnocchi is already gluten free and also dairy free.
Vegetarian or vegan? Just swap out the sausage. If you’re shopping at Trader Joe’s, they have their own Italian Sausageless Sausage near the tofu that is mighty delicious. It does contain eggs, however, so not great for vegans. For vegans, try their Tofurky brand, which is completely plant based. You can also find this brand or similar ones at other grocery stores.
Store in a glass container for up to 5 days (the tomatoes will stain plastic). Freeze for up to 3 months.
