Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 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
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Add onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  4. Add gnocchi and cook according to package directions, usually about 3-5 minutes, until they float to the surface.
  5. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  6. Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream. Heat through but do not boil.
  7. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For a heartier soup, you can add other vegetables like carrots or celery with the onion.
  • If you don’t have heavy cream, half-and-half can be used, but the soup will be less rich.
  • This soup is a great option for meal planning, as leftovers reheat well.
