A rich and creamy sausage gnocchi soup that comes together in under 30 minutes, perfect for cozy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound sausage (Italian or your choice)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 pound potato gnocchi
  • 2 cups spinach (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, brown the sausage over medium heat until fully cooked. Break it up into bite-sized pieces as it cooks and drain excess fat if there’s a lot.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning, reducing the heat to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the top, usually 2–4 minutes.
  6. Mix in the spinach if using, and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until wilted and bright green.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot, garnished with Parmesan cheese.

Notes

For a lighter soup, substitute half-and-half or a mixture of milk and flour. Gnocchi can be fresh or frozen. Store leftovers in airtight containers for 3–4 days, or freeze base without gnocchi for up to 2 months.
