Make this hearty, comforting sausage gnocchi soup in one pot for an easy weeknight dinner. It features savory Italian sausage, tender gnocchi, and fresh spinach in a rich, creamy broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 (16 ounce) package shelf-stable potato gnocchi
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes (with their juice). Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Add the potato gnocchi to the simmering broth. Cook according to package directions, usually about 3 to 5 minutes, until the gnocchi float to the surface.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream until fully combined and the soup is heated through. Do not boil after adding the cream.
  7. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the soup.
  8. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the soup is creamy.
  9. Taste the sausage gnocchi soup and season with salt and pepper as needed before serving.

Notes

  • For a heartier texture, use sweet or hot Italian sausage based on your preference.
  • If you prefer a tangier broth, substitute half of the heavy cream with half-and-half.
  • You can substitute kale for spinach, but add it a few minutes earlier to allow it more time to soften.
