Prep Time

10 minutes

Cook Time

20 minutes

Serves

4

Ingredients

  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 5 carrots, sliced (or one bag of frozen carrots)
  • 5 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 package chicken sausage, sliced
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 5 oz spinach (fresh or frozen)
  • Parmesan cheese, for serving

Steps

1

Cook the Chicken Sausage

Start by heating a bit of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken sausage and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Once browned, remove the sausage and set it aside on a plate.

2

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pot, toss in the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent and the veggies are soft.

3

Season the Soup

Next, add the garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir everything together and let it cook for about 1 minute to release the flavors.

4

Add Chicken Stock

Pour in the chicken stock and stir to combine. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the carrots to cook through.

5

Add Gnocchi and Spinach

Now, stir in the gnocchi and spinach. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the gnocchi is tender and the spinach is wilted.

6

Stir in the Cream

Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Return the cooked sausage to the pot and let the soup simmer for another 2-3 minutes to warm everything through

7

Serve

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
