 Gnocchi, Sausage & Spinach Soup is filling and great on cold nights.

Gnocchi, Sausage & Spinach Soup | Bottom Left of the Mitten

When I first made this, I was originally going to make a pasta dish with most of these ingredients but adjusted it on the fly to make the ultimate ‘comfort food’ soup.

I’m glad I did because it has become something that I now make often. Little pillows of potato gnocchi, spinach, tomatoes, and spicy sausage swirl around in a delicious broth.

Top this with some homemade croutons and a sprinkle of Parmesan. The croutons give it a really good crunch.

How to make Gnocchi, Sausage & Spinach Soup:

Start by melting half of the butter in a large stockpot, adding the onions and cook until softened.  Add garlic now—not before it will brown to fast and get bitter.

Now add the sausage and cook until browned. Once the sausage is cooked I usually either drain this on a plate with a paper towel or drain in a colander. I DO NOT drain out all of the oil, I leave a little bit in the bottom and add then put the spinach into the pot.

Now add the other half of the butter.  Wilt the spinach. Chop up your tomato and add to the pot. Add the sausage back in.

Ingredients and steps for making Gnocchi, Sausage & Spinach Soup.

To the sausage mixture sprinkle 1 Tbs of flour over it then stir to combine the flour.  This is what thickens the stock.

Add the chicken stock now.  I love using bouillon so I heat up 1 cup of water and dissolve the cubes in that.

Then add the remaining water after that.  Finally, put the gnocchi into the pot and set to cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.

Serve it up and add croutons & additional Parmesan.

And here you are……
