About
Grammy's Gnocchi Soup is the warm and nurturing bowl of comfort you need when the winter gets truly cold! Creamy and filled with all sorts of fresh, nourishing vegetables and lots of pillowy gnocchi, this soup really has it all. Of course, it also has bacon bits and an infusion of pork flavor to make this soup something you can't help but sip. Much like a trip to Grandma's house, Grammy's Gnocchi Soup is just what you need when you need it.
