Creamy Italian Sausage+ Gnocchi Soup
Total time: 30 min
Got this recipe off of Instagram! Wonderful fall dish that was easy to make. I don’t think I get to eat Gnocchi enough, so this was very exciting for me. Inexpensive recipe too! Highly recommend
Ingredients
- 1 lb. mild Italian sausage
- 1 package gnocchi
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups half-and-half or heavy cream
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 3 oz grated Parmesan cheese (I like freshly grated it melts better IMO)
- 3-4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 8 oz bag spinach, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until completely browned and cooked through.
- Add all seasonings and tomato paste. Stir until well combined and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add gnocchi and cook for 3-5 minutes, or according to package directions.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the half-and-half and Parmesan cheese.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and allow it to wilt.
- Let everything gently simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup has thickened and become creamy.
- Serve warm with extra Parmesan on top, if desired. Enjoy!
