Tex Mex Pantry Gnocchi Soup Recipes

PANTRY PIZZA PRONTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Slice the focaccia round in half through the middle to create 2 rounds. Place cut-side up on a baking sheet. Brush the bread with the olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Spoon 1/4 cup of the marinara over each round and sprinkle the provolone over the top, making sure to leave the outer edge of the focaccia rounds exposed. Over the cheese, distribute the sausage slices, hot cherry peppers, kalamata olives, artichokes and Manzanilla olives across each round.
• Bake until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes. Dot or drizzle the pizzas with the pesto and sprinkle with the Parmesan and basil. Slice and serve.

TEX MEX CHICKEN TACO SOUP

Steps:

• Saute onions, green bell peppers, and garlic in a small amount of vegetable oil. Add chicken, taco seasoning mix, salsa, vegetables, beans, tomato paste, and chicken broth. Adjust liquid to your liking. Bring to a slow simmer and simmer for 20 minutes. Place cream cheese in a separate bowl. Using a measuring cup, take some of the hot liquid from the soup and pour over cream cheese to melt and then add back to the soup. Simmer on low for another 10 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips and grated Monterey jack cheese.
• Also, great on the second day over rice.

TEX-MEX PANTRY GNOCCHI SOUP

Steps:

• Combine the fire-roasted tomatoes, corn, enchilada sauce, chopped green chiles with liquid and black beans in a large pot over high heat, adding salt and pepper as needed. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes to bring all the flavors together.
• Add the gnocchi, chorizo and queso blanco and cook until the gnocchi has softened and the cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately garnished with cilantro.
