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
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.
Add onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Add gnocchi and cook according to package directions, usually about 3-5 minutes, until they float to the surface.
Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream. Heat through but do not boil.
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.
