A cozy, rustic soup made with rich sausage, pillowy potato gnocchi, a touch of cream, and greens, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb sausage (Italian or your choice)
  • 1 package (16 oz) potato gnocchi
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup spinach (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Warm 1โ€“2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Give the pan a minute so the oil shimmers.
  2. Add the sausage (remove casings if necessary). Break it up with a spoon and cook until itโ€™s no longer pink and has golden edges, about 6โ€“8 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sautรฉ until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3โ€“4 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom.
  5. Add the gnocchi and Italian seasoning. Cook according to package instructionsโ€”usually 2โ€“4 minutesโ€”until the gnocchi float and are tender.
  6. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and spinach. Warm until the spinach wilts and the soup is heated through, about 1โ€“2 minutes.
  7. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and serve hot.

Notes

For added flavor, serve with grated Parmesan and a crack of black pepper. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3โ€“4 days. Avoid freezing the finished soup.
