Ingredients

1 lb mild Italian sausage
8 oz spinach (Roughly chopped)
2 tbsp garlic (Minced)
3.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth (Use 3–4 cups; add more if you want a thinner soup)
2 cup half-and-half or heavy cream (The source gives half-and-half or heavy cream as alternatives; nutrition is estimated for half-and-half)
3 oz Parmesan cheese (Grated; freshly grated is preferred because it melts better)
1 package gnocchi (Package size not specified; nutrition and weight estimated using a typical 16-oz package)
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp oregano (Dried)
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
Parmesan cheese (Extra grated Parmesan for serving, if desired; estimated nutrition uses 1 tbsp)

Steps

1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
2
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
3
Add the Italian sausage. Cook it while breaking it up with a spoon, until completely browned and cooked through.
4
Add the salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, oregano, dried parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, and tomato paste. Stir until well combined, then cook for 1–2 minutes.
5
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the soup to a boil.
6
Add the gnocchi and cook for 3–5 minutes, or according to the package directions.
7
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the half-and-half or heavy cream and the grated Parmesan cheese.
8
Stir in the chopped spinach and allow it to wilt.
9
Let the soup gently simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened and become creamy.
10
Serve warm with extra grated Parmesan on top, if desired.

Notes

The source does not specify the package size for the gnocchi. It also offers half-and-half or heavy cream; using heavy cream will produce a richer, higher-calorie soup. Add additional chicken broth if a thinner consistency is preferred.
