Creamy Sausage Gnocchi Soup

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 pound Italian sausage casings removed

• 1/2 onion chopped

• 2 garlic cloves chopped

• Salt and pepper

• Red pepper flakes

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

• 4 cups chicken broth

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1 pound gnocchi

• 2 cups chopped fresh spinach

• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a soup pot and brown the sausage breaking up as you go. When the sausage is browned add the onion and garlic and saute a few minutes. Season with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes if using, and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine and add the broth and bring to a boil.

2. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Add the cream and gnocchi and increase the heat a bit to allow the gnocchi to cook. Continue cooking until the gnocchi rise to the top, lower the heat and add the spinach. Cook until wilted, remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan.
