Description
Creamy Italian Sausage Gnocchi Soup: A rich, comforting one-pot soup with Italian turkey sausage, potato gnocchi, spinach, and Parmesan that comes together in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 (16 oz) package potato gnocchi
- 1½ cups baby spinach
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Red pepper flakes for a little heat
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
- Add diced onion and garlic. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft and fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- Add gnocchi and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until gnocchi float and are tender.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
- Add spinach and cook just until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Serve hot with extra Parmesan and warm bread on the side.
Notes
- Use turkey sausage for a lighter option; regular pork sausage will add more fat.
- Do not overcook gnocchi; add at the end to avoid sogginess.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 2–3 days; reheat gently.
- Replace heavy cream with half-and-half or milk for lighter version; might alter texture.
