A creamy, savory soup featuring quick-cooking potato gnocchi, browned sausage, and a rich broth. Perfect for comfort on a rainy night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound sausage (Italian or your choice)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 pound potato gnocchi
  • 2 cups spinach (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into bite-sized pieces until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the pot.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
  5. Add the potato gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the top, about 2–4 minutes.
  6. If using spinach, add it now and simmer for 2–3 minutes until wilted.
  7. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Ladle into bowls, topping each with grated Parmesan.

Notes

For lighter soup, use half-and-half or whole milk plus a tablespoon of cornstarch to thicken. Swap sausage for turkey or plant-based options for alternatives.
