Ingredients
- Italian Sausage
- Gnocchi
- Chicken Broth
- Heavy Cream
- Fresh Spinach
- Fresh Garlic
- Onion
- Italian Herbs (Oregano, Basil)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Olive Oil (if needed)
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, add the Italian sausage. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart as it cooks. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.
- In the same pot, add a drizzle of olive oil if needed. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any flavorful bits. Bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Add the gnocchi to the simmering broth. Let it cook according to package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes until they float to the top.
- Once the gnocchi is cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream.
- Add the fresh spinach, cooked sausage, and Italian herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste, allowing the spinach to wilt, about 2 minutes.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese or a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired. Enjoy it warm!
