Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage casings removed
  • 1 cup yellow onion, diced
  • 0.75 cup carrots, diced
  • 0.75 cup celery, diced
  • 4 clove garlic, minced
  • 1.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
  • 6 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 14.5 ounce diced tomatoes with juices
  • 16 ounce potato gnocchi shelf-stable or refrigerated
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cup baby spinach roughly chopped if large
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated for serving

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  • Stir in the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes with their juices. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to meld flavors.
  • Add the gnocchi and cook at a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi float and are tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and spinach and cook just until the spinach wilts, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Ladle into bowls and top with grated Parmesan. Serve hot.

Notes

For a lighter soup, swap half-and-half for heavy cream. Use hot or sweet Italian sausage based on your heat preference, and add more broth to thin the soup if it thickens on standing.
