Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 pound potato gnocchi
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

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 until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes if you are using them. 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 top.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream until fully combined and the soup is creamy. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts completely into the soup.
  7. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  8. Taste the soup and season with salt and black pepper as needed before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use sweet or hot Italian sausage based on your preference.
  • You can substitute fresh kale for spinach; add kale when you add the broth and allow it to cook until tender before adding the gnocchi.
  • This soup is best served immediately while the gnocchi is tender.
