Make this comforting, rich sausage gnocchi soup in one pot for a quick, satisfying weeknight dinner. It features savory Italian sausage, tender gnocchi, and fresh spinach in a velvety 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 Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (16 ounce) package shelf-stable potato gnocchi
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 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 off 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 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 the broth is fully incorporated and creamy. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  7. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts completely, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  8. Serve the sausage gnocchi soup hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • You can substitute sweet Italian sausage for spicy if you prefer less heat.
  • For a heartier stew texture, use 1/2 cup less chicken broth.
  • If you do not have fresh spinach, use 1 cup of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry.
