Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 lb Italian sausage (casings removed, cut or crumbled)
-
1 medium onion, finely diced
-
1 medium carrot, chopped
-
2 celery stalks, diced
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 teaspoon Italian herb blend
-
A pinch of red chili flakes (optional for heat)
-
⅓ cup dry white wine
-
4 cups chicken broth
-
¾ cup heavy cream
-
1 lb gnocchi
-
A handful of fresh baby spinach
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for topping!)
How to Make It
1. Brown the Sausage
Heat olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, about 4–5 minutes, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
2. Add the Veggies
Stir in onion, carrot, and celery. Cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
3. Build the Flavor
Add garlic, Italian herbs, and chili flakes. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour in the white wine. Scrape the bottom of the pot to lift all that flavor, and let the wine reduce almost completely.
4. Simmer the Soup
Add chicken broth, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes to deepen the flavor.
5. Make It Creamy
Stir in the heavy cream, then add gnocchi and cook for 2–3 minutes until tender. Finally, toss in the spinach and Parmesan, stirring until the greens are wilted and the soup turns luxuriously creamy.
6. Serve & Enjoy
Ladle into bowls and top with extra Parmesan or a sprinkle of black pepper. Serve with crusty bread from Locals’ Market for the ultimate comfort meal!
