Every jar of Rao's Homemade tomato sauce is slow-cooked in small batches and crafted with high quality ingredients like basil, tomatoes, and garlic. Whatever you're making, you'll taste the love we put in.
Rao's Homemade Marinara Sauce is made from our traditional Italian-inspired recipe with the hope of always keeping your family around the table.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a good option when I am sick and have no appetite?
Yes. Many customers specifically buy this soup during illness because the warm aroma and gentle flavor help stimulate appetite, and the real, mild ingredients are easier to tolerate than heavily spiced foods.
Does it contain wholesome, recognizable ingredients I can feel good about?
The soup features real chicken, carrots, onions, spinach and celery with potato gnocchi in a creamy broth, which is a noticeably cleaner ingredient profile than highly processed canned soups.
Is the aroma strong enough to make a meal more appealing during recovery?
Buyers report that the aroma when the soup is heated and transferred to a serving bowl is strong and appetizing, which is especially helpful when someone is struggling with diminished appetite or taste.
Can this be part of a health-conscious or clean-eating routine?
For a wellness-focused buyer, this soup fits well into a routine that prioritizes real ingredients and minimally processed foods, particularly when paired with a side salad or whole-grain bread.
Is it gentle enough for a sensitive stomach?
The Italian-style creamy broth with mild sage is generally well tolerated, and many buyers specifically choose it as a soothing option during cold, flu or chemotherapy recovery when stronger flavors are off-putting.
Is this a good self-care meal for a low-energy day?
Yes. When you want nourishment without effort, heating a single jar and eating it from a deep bowl creates a calming, ritual-like meal that supports both physical and emotional wellbeing.
How does it compare to homemade chicken soup from scratch?
While nothing fully replaces a loved one's homemade soup, buyers consistently say this version delivers hearty, homemade-style flavor with real chicken and vegetables, which is an excellent alternative when you cannot cook.
Is it a better choice than instant soups or ramen packets?
Yes. Compared to instant soups, this offers a much richer broth, real protein, vegetables and gnocchi in a glass jar, making it a more nourishing and satisfying wellness option.
Is it suitable for someone going through chemotherapy with altered taste?
Many customers with compromised taste and appetite report that this soup is one of the few foods they can enjoy and that it encourages them to eat, making it a valuable part of a care routine.
Does it feel indulgent while still being a responsible choice?
The creamy broth and gnocchi make it feel like a treat, while the real chicken, spinach and vegetables keep it grounded as a nourishing meal, which is a balance many wellness-focused buyers appreciate.
Is the higher price worth it when I am not feeling well?
Buyers say yes. When you are sick or low-energy, the convenience, the appetizing aroma and the real ingredients are exactly what you need, and the premium price is a small cost for actually eating well during recovery.
How do I prepare Rao's Chicken Gnocchi Soup at home?
Pour the soup from the 16oz glass jar into a small pot, heat it gently on the stovetop over medium heat until hot and steaming, then transfer to a deep bowl to enjoy the aroma. The soup is fully cooked and ready to eat after heating, with no additional ingredients or steps required.
Can I microwave the soup instead of using the stovetop?
Yes. You can transfer the soup to a microwave-safe bowl, cover loosely and heat in short intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches your preferred temperature. Many buyers prefer the stovetop for the stronger aroma, but the microwave works well for a faster desk lunch.
Can I pour this soup over roasted chicken or potatoes as a sauce?
Yes. The creamy Italian-style broth with gnocchi, vegetables and chicken is versatile enough to double as a sauce poured over roasted chicken, roasted potatoes or even pasta, making it a flexible pantry item beyond a traditional soup.
Is the glass jar microwave-safe?
Glass jars are generally not recommended for microwave use. For best results and safety, transfer the soup to a microwave-safe bowl if you prefer microwaving, and reserve the glass jar for stovetop heating, storage or recycling.
Does this need to be refrigerated, or can I store it in the pantry?
Unopened, the 16oz glass jar is shelf-stable and designed for pantry storage, so you can keep it on the shelf until you are ready to use it. Once opened, any remaining soup should be refrigerated and consumed within a few days.
What is included when I order this product?
Each order includes one 16oz glass jar of Rao's Made for Home Chicken Gnocchi Soup, individually wrapped in bubble wrap for safe shipping. No additional accessories, sides or ingredients are included, so you may want to have bread, salad or a simple side on hand if desired.
Is this product safe for people with food allergies or dietary restrictions?
The soup contains wheat (in the gnocchi), dairy (in the creamy broth) and egg, which are common allergens, and it is produced in a facility that may handle other allergens. Always review the full ingredient label on the jar before consuming if you have specific allergies or restrictions.
How long is the shelf life, and can I stock up?
The sealed 16oz glass jar is shelf-stable with a long shelf life, making it ideal for stocking up. Many buyers purchase multiple jars at once to keep on hand for quick meals, gifts and emergency dinners without worrying about spoilage.
What is the difference between a soup like this and a pasta sauce from the same brand?
Rao's soups are hearty, broth-based meals with vegetables, protein and gnocchi, designed to be eaten on their own as a main course. Rao's pasta sauces are concentrated tomato or cream-based products meant to be tossed with cooked pasta or used as a recipe ingredient. The soup stands alone, while a sauce is a building block for a larger dish.
