A hearty and comforting Gnocchi Zuppa Toscana recipe featuring savory Italian sausage, tender potato gnocchi, fresh baby spinach, and a creamy broth, perfect for a cozy meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Sausage

  • 1 lb Italian sausage

Soup Base

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups heavy cream

Vegetables and Seasoning

  • 3 cups baby spinach
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Gnocchi

  • 1 package (16 oz) gnocchi

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until it is browned and cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once done, drain any excess fat from the pot to keep the soup light.
  2. Add Broth and Gnocchi: Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, add the 16 oz package of gnocchi directly into the broth and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the gnocchi float to the surface, indicating they are cooked.
  3. Simmer with Cream and Spinach: Lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Stir in 2 cups of heavy cream and 3 cups of fresh baby spinach. Allow the soup to gently simmer until it is hot throughout and the spinach has wilted, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Season and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes over the soup for a mild spicy kick. Serve hot and enjoy your comforting Gnocchi Zuppa Toscana.

Notes

  • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
  • Italian sausage can be spicy or mild depending on preference.
  • For extra flavor, add minced garlic when cooking the sausage.
  • Fresh gnocchi can be used instead of packaged for a more authentic texture.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes according to desired heat level.
