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 potato gnocchi
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 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.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes (with their juice). Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. 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.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream until the broth is fully incorporated and creamy. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  7. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts completely.
  8. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  9. Serve immediately in bowls, topping each serving with extra grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For a heartier soup, substitute kale for spinach and add it when you add the broth, cooking until tender before adding the gnocchi.
  • If you prefer a thicker broth, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry, then stir it into the simmering soup before adding the cream.
  • Use sweet, mild, or hot Italian sausage based on your preference for spice level.
