Gnocchi and sausage soup

Y'all, this soup is so delicious, I had to share the recipe. Make it this week and enjoy it with this beautiful, cool weather and a glass of wine.

Here is the original recipe, but I adapted it a little. I didn't have roasted red peppers in my kitchen so I diced up and sauteed some tomatoes and it was still great.

Ingredients:

  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb chicken sausage
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 32 oz chicken broth
  • 1 package gnocchi
  • 1 bag fresh spinach
  • 3/4 cup half n' half 
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil
  • Red pepper flakes

Directions:
  1. In a skillet, saute sausage until browned, set aside. 
  2. Meanwhile, in a dutch oven/heavy pot, saute onion and tomatoes in olive oil on medium heat until soft. Add garlic and tomato paste and saute another minute or two. Season with S&P.
  3. Drain sausage and add to onion/tomato mixture. Then add chicken broth, season again with S&P, Turn heat down to med-low and simmer for 20 minutes.
  4. Stir in the gnocchi and bag of spinach and cook for about 10 minutes, until gnocchi and soft and float to the top. 
  5. Add half n' half, basil, and red pepper flakes, stir to combine, Serve and top with grated Parmesan (if desired). 
I don't have a picture because David ate half the pot in one sitting. Enjoy!
