Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (16 ounce) package shelf-stable potato gnocchi
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Add the potato gnocchi to the simmering broth. Cook according to package directions, usually about 3 to 5 minutes, until the gnocchi float to the surface.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream until the broth is smooth and creamy.
  6. Add the fresh spinach and stir until it wilts into the soup, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  7. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese until melted and incorporated.
  8. Serve your sausage gnocchi soup immediately, topping each bowl with extra grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For a heartier texture, substitute half of the chicken broth with half-and-half or whole milk when adding the cream.
  • If you do not have Italian seasoning, use a mix of dried oregano and basil.
  • You can swap the fresh spinach for chopped kale; if using kale, add it when you add the gnocchi so it has enough time to soften.
  • This recipe is a great base for quick weeknight meals; feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.
