There is something truly special about a warm bowl of soup when the weather turns cold. This recipe brings together savory Italian sausage and pillowy gnocchi in a creamy broth that tastes just like a restaurant favorite.

My family loves this because it is so filling and comes together quite quickly. If you want a little extra brightness, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving really makes the flavors pop.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pound potato gnocchi
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Freshly grated parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks.

  3. 3

    Add the onion and garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.

  4. 4

    Pour in the chicken broth and add the dried oregano. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.

  5. 5

    Stir in the potato gnocchi and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes or until the gnocchi float to the top.

  6. 6

    Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and baby spinach. Cook for 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

  7. 7

    Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.

  8. 8

    Ladle into bowls and serve with plenty of parmesan cheese on top.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. If the soup thickens too much while sitting in the fridge, just add a splash of chicken broth when reheating. This soup pairs beautifully with a slice of crusty garlic bread.
