This sausage gnocchi soup recipe has flavorful Italian sausage, pillowy gnocchi, and vegetables enveloped in a comforting tomato broth! It's so simple to make.
Add the oil and sausage to a large soup pot. Cook over medium-high heat until browned (about 10 minutes), then transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
If the pot is looking a bit dry, add a splash of olive oil to it. Add the onion, celery, and carrots to the pot, and sauté for 8-10 minutes, until the onions are lightly browned and the celery and carrots have softened a bit.
Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
Add the sausage back to the pot, and then add in the chicken broth, tomato sauce, gnocchi, and Italian seasoning. Bring the soup to a boil, and then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes with the lid slightly open. Give it a stir a couple of times so that nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Stir in the spinach and basil, season with salt & pepper as needed, and enjoy!
Notes
Use ground Italian sausage or take the sausage meat out of the casings and crumble it into the soup pot.
