This is a hearty, comforting soup featuring savory Italian sausage and tender potato gnocchi in a rich, creamy broth. It is designed as a quick, one-pot meal perfect for busy weeknights or cold weather.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow 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
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Italian sausage in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Break the sausage into small pieces as it cooks. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot with the sausage 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 uncooked gnocchi to the simmering broth. Cook according to package directions, usually about 3 to 5 minutes, until the gnocchi float to the top.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream until the broth is fully incorporated and heated through. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  7. Stir in the fresh spinach or kale until it wilts into the soup.
  8. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, if using. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately for a cozy, satisfying meal.

Notes

  • For a heartier texture, substitute half of the chicken broth with half-and-half or whole milk when adding the cream.
  • You can use sweet or hot Italian sausage based on your preference for spice.
  • If you prefer a thicker broth, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water, then stir this slurry into the simmering soup before adding the cream.
