Make this rich, one-pot Italian sausage and gnocchi soup in about 30 minutes for a satisfying weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (16 ounce) package shelf-stable potato gnocchi
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

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 excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes (with their juice). Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Add the gnocchi to the simmering soup. Cook according to package directions, usually about 3 to 5 minutes, until the gnocchi float.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream until the soup is creamy.
  7. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts completely. Do not boil after adding the cream.
  8. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • If you prefer a less rich flavor, substitute half of the heavy cream with milk.
  • You can substitute mild Italian sausage for spicy if you prefer less heat.
