Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage cooked and crumbled
- 1 medium Onion chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 2 cups Spinach or kale roughly chopped
- 4 cups Chicken stock
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 package Potato gnocchi
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- Salt and pepper to taste I used about 1 ½ tablespoons of salt for this recipe
Toppings:
- parmesan cheese
- bacon bits
- basil
- red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Brown the Italian sausage in a large pot over medium heat. Once all of the pink is cooked out, drain any excess grease from the pot.
- Add the chopped onions into the pot and saute for 2-3 minutes. Now add the garlic and spinach directly into the stockpot. Saute for 1 minute, stirring frequently so that the garlic does not burn.
- Gently pour in the chicken stock and heavy cream, stir until it is combined. Bring to a light simmer, then carefully add the gnocchi directly into the pot.
- Stir in the parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to your taste. Cover the pot with a lid and allow the gnocchi to get tender, which takes about 10-15 minutes. Be sure to stir the soup occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
- Serve with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
