  7. While soup is simmering, add drained and rinsed cannellini beans into a high speed blender with 1 cup of water. Blend until well pureed.
  8. In the last 5 minutes of cooking time, add cannellini bean puree into soup mixture, stirring to combine well.
  9. Stir potato gnocchi into pot, and continue cooking until gnocchi dumplings float to the top. Serve hot, and enjoy!
