Hearty Italian sausage, tender gnocchi, and fresh spinach simmered in a creamy broth. This easy soup recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or cold-weather dinners.
Start by browning meat, then remove from pot, drain and set aside.
Chop onion and cook in same dutch oven until translucent. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.
Add butter and flour over low heat, mix until it makes a paste.
1 cup at a time add in your milk. Whisk as you are adding this in to make a smooth soup. Take your time with this step.
(Doing this slowly allows you to manage how thick you want the soup better.)
Once all liquid is in, add sausage and gnocchi back in and let simmer for 10 minutes all together.
Just before serving add in arugula (or spinach) and give a stir. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Salt- I typically do not add any salt to this. The sausage is usually enough, however, taste at the end and add if you think it needs it. Greens - you can add any greens at the end you like. Spinach, Kale, etc. I always use Arugula because it has a zingy, peppery flavor that I love.
