Can I make this soup ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the base of the soup in advance and add the gnocchi and cream when reheating for the best texture.

What type of gnocchi should I use?

You can use either store-bought or homemade gnocchi. Fresh gnocchi will have a softer texture, while packaged versions may be firmer.

Simply reduce the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your taste, or omit them entirely for a milder soup.
