Gnocchi Zuppa Toscana

Quick and Easy Creamy Italian Soup

Quick and easy Gnocchi Zuppa Toscana! Creamy Italian sausage soup with kale and gnocchi, ready in just 30 minutes.

1. Prepare Aromatics and Sausage
Heat a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and diced onion. Cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking the sausage into small pieces until browned. Add minced garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Tip: For less grease, drain the sausage after browning.
2. Simmer the Base
Pour in chicken stock and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Tip: Add a splash of white wine for deeper flavor.
3. Add Kale and Gnocchi
Stir in the chopped kale and gnocchi. Let the soup cook for 2-3 minutes or until the gnocchi float to the top.
Tip: Add gnocchi just before serving to avoid overcooking.
4. Finish with Cream
Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream. Stir until combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Tip: For a thicker soup, mash a few gnocchi directly in the pot.
5. Serve
Ladle into bowls and garnish with Parmesan, crispy bacon, or fresh basil if desired.
Tip: Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
