Method

Preparation

Brown the Italian sausage in a large pot over medium heat, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks.
Once the sausage is no longer pink, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

Cooking

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the top, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream to create a rich texture.
Add the fresh spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving.

Serving

Ladle warm soup into individual bowls, and garnish with fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve with crusty bread or a fresh salad on the side.

Notes

For leftovers, allow the soup to cool, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stove over low heat, adding broth or cream if it thickens too much.
