Make this comforting, one-pot Italian sausage and gnocchi soup. It features savory sausage, tender potato dumplings, and spinach in a rich, creamy broth. This recipe is quick enough for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 (16 ounce) package shelf-stable potato gnocchi
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Place 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 3 to 5 minutes, until the gnocchi float to the top.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream until the broth is fully combined and heated through. Do not boil after adding cream.
  7. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the soup, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  8. Serve the soup hot, topping each bowl with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

  • For a slightly thicker broth, you can stir in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of cold water before adding the cream.
  • Use sweet or hot Italian sausage based on your preference for spice.
  • This soup tastes best when made fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
