Italian Sausage And Gnocchi Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook ground sausage until browned, breaking it up into small pieces, about 7 minutes. Transfer sausage to a bowl. Drain fat from skillet; wipe out skillet with a paper towel.
• Melt butter in skillet over medium heat, Stir in onion and saute until translucent, 2 or 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Whisk in flour until evenly mixed into butter, 1 minute. Slowly pour in cream and Swanson® Unsalted Chicken Broth. Whisk mixture until it comes to a boil, then immediately reduce heat to low. Simmer until mixture thickens, whisking occasionally, about 10 minutes.
• Return sausage to the skillet; add spinach, tomatoes, and gnocchi. Cook over medium heat until gnocchi is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add dash of salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Heat avocado oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add sausage; stir to break up the meat and cook until well browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Drain excess oil and keep meat mixture in the skillet. Add gnocchi, stirring to break up any clumps. Stir in tomatoes, salt, basil, oregano, and pepper. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Stir in spinach and nutmeg and simmer until spinach has wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses on top, cover, and simmer until cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• To make the meatballs it's really easy. Just mix all the meatball ingredients together in a big bowl and then shape them into walnut sized meatballs (about 40-45) and set aside while you prepare the soup.
• To make the soup, heat the olive oil over medium high heat and add the celery, onions, carrots and cook 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the broth, cover the pot and bring to a boil.
• Once the soup is at a boil, turn down the heat a little and slowly add the little chicken dumplings and simmer for about 10 minutes than add the gnocchi and simmer for another 5 minutes. Now add the peas and parsley and continue cooking for another 2 minutes.
• The soup is done when the meatballs and gnocchi are cooked through.

Steps:

• Add 1/2 inch water to a 10-inch frying pan. Place sausage links in the pan, cover, and heat over medium heat for 10 minutes. Remove the lid, turn the links, and cook for another 10 minutes, adding more water as needed to prevent scorching. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Transfer sausages to a cutting board and let cool.
• While the sausages are cooking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook gnocchi in the boiling water until they float to the top, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain.
• At the same time, heat olive oil in a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, shallots, and red pepper flakes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are soft and onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Stir in chicken stock, basil, and bay leaf and bring to a low boil. Add spinach, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer; cook for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Slice sausage links and add to the pan. Simmer soup for 5 minutes.
• Place gnocchi in serving bowls and ladle soup mixture over top. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
