Description

This Creamy Italian Sausage Gnocchi Soup is everything you want in a soup. It’s hearty, comforting, nourishing, and packed with flavor. Italian sausage gives this one some heft while the veggies and kale add tons of nutrition. The pillowy gnocchi throughout seal the deal on deliciousness. A must make this soup season!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb Italian chicken sausage (sweet or spicy), removed from casings
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, stemmed and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups chicken broth (I use bone broth for more protein)
  • 1 bunch lacinato kale, stemmed and chopped
  • 1 (1-lb) package shelf-stable gnocchi
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Grated or shaved parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the sausage and break up with a spoon. Cook for 5 minutes or until the sausage is mostly browned and cooked through.
  2. Stir in the onion, carrots, and celery and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and rosemary.
  3. Sprinkle the flour evenly all over the sausage and veggies and then stir to incorporate.
  4. Slowly stir in the broth, making sure to scrape up any bits on the bottom of the pan.
  5. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the soup is beginning to thicken.
  6. Stir in the kale and gnocchi and cook until tender – this only takes a couple minutes.
  7. Stir in the cream and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve while hot, garnished with shaved or grated parmesan.

Notes

I prefer chicken sausage over pork, but you can certainly use Italian pork sausage here. Mild or spicy sausage works – adjust to your tastes!
