Description
A comforting one-pot soup featuring tender potato gnocchi, spicy-sweet Italian sausage, and bright wilted spinach, finished with Parmesan.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 package (16 oz) gnocchi
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it into pieces. Cook until browned and no longer pink, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and increase heat to bring to a gentle boil.
- Stir in gnocchi, pour in heavy cream, and add Italian seasoning and a few grinds of black pepper.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and cook gnocchi for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they float and are tender.
- Add spinach and simmer for 1-2 minutes until leaves wilt.
- Taste and season with salt and additional pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
For a lighter soup, substitute half-and-half. Store leftovers for 3-4 days in an airtight container. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
