Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 lb Italian sausage
- 1 cup diced sweet onion (about 1/2 medium onion)
- 3 stalks celery, diced
- 3 medium carrots, diced
- 1 small zucchini, diced
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1.5 cups marinara sauce
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 16 oz uncooked potato gnocchi
- 2 cups fresh arugula or spinach
- 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan
- fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a large stockpot or soup pot to medium high heat. Once hot, add the oil, then the sausage. Cook the sausage until browned, about 5-7 minutes, using a wooden spoon to break up. Remove the sausage from the pot, but keep the pot hot.
- Toss in the diced vegetables: onion, celery, carrots, and zucchini. Saute for 5-6 minutes, then add in minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Saute another 1-2 minutes.
- Add the sausage back to the pot, pour in the tomato sauce and chicken broth. Now toss in the gnocchi. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a medium low. Simmer for about 8 minutes.
- Stir in the arugula or spinach. The soup is now ready to serve. Garnish with parmesan cheese and fresh basil (if using).
