- Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, your choice)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 pound gnocchi (fresh or frozen)
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove excess grease if needed.
- Add the diced onion and garlic to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, oregano, thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine.
- Bring the soup to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Add the gnocchi to the soup and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the gnocchi floats to the top, indicating it’s cooked.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and heavy cream, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the soup becomes creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, and enjoy!
