One Pot Sausage Gnocchi Soup

This One Pot Sausage Gnocchi Soup is the perfect dinner for the colder evenings and it tastes even better the next day.

Similar to a Zuppa Toscana, this take on the classic Italian dish loaded with sausage, gnocchi, and veggies can be made in 30 minutes. With a creamy broth and hearty ingredients, this Sausage Gnocchi Soup is the perfect dinner for the colder season.

What’s so great about this Sausage Gnocchi Soup is how forgiving it can be. The kale can be switched out for Spinach. The sweet Italian sausage can be substituted for mild. And the heavy cream can be opted out completely if you want a lighter dish. This soup can be made in 30 minutes, or if you want to prepare it earlier, it can simmer for 2-3 hours. The meat will become more tender and the gnocchi will be pillowy soft the longer it cooks. Both methods are delicious and will have the family go back for seconds.

For this One Pot Sausage Gnocchi Soup, prepackaged or frozen gnocchi work great. It can be plain or a cheese blend gnocchi. Both taste amazing with this recipe.
