Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (16 ounce) package potato gnocchi
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Italian sausage in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Break the sausage into small pieces as it cooks. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes with their juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Add the potato gnocchi to the simmering soup. Cook according to package directions, usually about 3 to 5 minutes, until the gnocchi float.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the soup is smooth and heated through. Do not boil after adding the cream.
  7. Taste the soup and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream, or stir in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of cold water during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • You can substitute sweet Italian sausage for spicy if you prefer less heat.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
