A rich and comforting creamy Italian sausage gnocchi soup, brimming with savory sausage, tender gnocchi, fresh spinach, and flavorful tomato broth with a silky finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb bulk Italian sausage (hot or mild), casings removed
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2–3 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 4–6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 28 oz crushed fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 1 lb potato or mini gnocchi
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach (or kale)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: freshly grated Parmesan, crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking into crumbles, until browned (about 5–7 minutes).
  2. Add onion, carrots, and celery; sauté until softened (about 5 minutes).
  3. Stir in garlic, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning; cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and crushed tomatoes; bring to a boil.
  5. Add gnocchi, then reduce to a simmer and cook until gnocchi floats and is tender (2–3 minutes).
  6. Stir in heavy cream and spinach; simmer for 2 minutes until spinach is wilted.
  7. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot with Parmesan and red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes

  • Use hot Italian sausage for added spice or mild for a gentler flavor.
  • Swap heavy cream with coconut milk or cashew cream for a dairy-free version.
  • Add kale instead of spinach for a different leafy green option.
  • Gnocchi can be replaced with tortellini or pasta.
  • For freezing, omit gnocchi and cream until reheating for best texture.
