Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 16 ounces hot Italian sausage
  • 6 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes, with juice
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 16 ounce package of gnocchi
  • 1 1/2 cups spinach
  • 1 1/2 cups kale
  • salt and pepper
  • crushed red peppers
  • Italian seasoning

Instruction

  • Heat olive oil in a cast iron pot.
  • Add in onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender.
  • Add in garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  • Take the onion and garlic out of the pot and set aside.
  • Add in sausage and brown. (You do not have to add more oil. The sausage tends to give off a lot of grease when it is cooked).
  • Drain excess grease and add the onion and garlic back to the pot.
  • Add in broth, tomatoes and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Add in gnocchi and cook until it floats to the top, 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in spinach and kale and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the greens are wilted.
  • Season soup to taste with salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning.
  • Serve immediately.
