Gnocchi Zuppa Toscana is a comforting Italian-inspired soup featuring hearty Italian sausage, tender gnocchi, fresh kale, and a creamy broth. This rustic dish combines savory flavors and satisfies as a perfect meal for chilly days.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 lb Italian sausage

Vegetables

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cups kale, chopped

Liquids

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Pasta

  • 1 package (16 oz) gnocchi

Instructions

  1. Brown the sausage: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks for even browning.
  2. Sauté onion: Add the diced onion to the pot with the browned sausage and cook until the onion is softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add broth and simmer: Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. Incorporate kale and gnocchi: Stir in the chopped kale and the package of gnocchi, allowing them to cook until the gnocchi floats to the surface and the kale is tender, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add cream and finish: Pour in the heavy cream and let the soup simmer gently for an additional 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the soup thicken slightly.
  6. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately, optionally with crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, use spicy Italian sausage or add red pepper flakes.
  • You can substitute kale with spinach or Swiss chard if preferred.
  • Gnocchi can be store-bought or homemade.
  • Use low-fat cream or milk for a lighter soup, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
