Ingredients

Scale

Sausage and Base

  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cups chicken broth (good quality)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cups baby spinach or kale

Main Ingredient

  • 1 package (16 oz) potato gnocchi

Finishing Touches

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Brown the sausage: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; add the Italian sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
  2. Sauté the aromatics and vegetables: Add chopped onions, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook until softened and the onions turn translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Build the soup base: Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes along with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, then bring everything to a gentle boil.
  4. Cook the gnocchi and greens: Add the potato gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes, until they float to the surface. Stir in the baby spinach or kale and cook until wilted.
  5. Finish with cheese and serve: Turn off the heat, stir in grated Parmesan for a creamy touch, adjust seasoning as needed, then ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use good-quality sausage for best flavor.
  • Do not overcook gnocchi; they cook quickly and can become mushy.
  • Customize the broth by adding a splash of white wine or smoked paprika for depth.
  • This is a convenient one-pot meal that simplifies cooking and cleanup.
  • Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for added freshness.
