Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound chicken sausage Feel free to substitute with turkey sausage.
  • 1 package gnocchi (about 16 ounces)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach Can be substituted with kale or other greens.
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather your ingredients. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the spinach.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken sausage, breaking it into bite-sized pieces. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until it’s browned and cooked through.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  3. Pour in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir to combine, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil.
  4. Once boiling, add the gnocchi to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, typically around 2-3 minutes.
  5. When the gnocchi is nearly done, stir in the spinach and cook for an additional minute or until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and finish with your favorite toppings, like fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

For storage, refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and warm on the stove, adding a splash of broth if needed.
