Description
A cozy, rich soup with savory Italian sausage, hearty ground beef, pillowy gnocchi, and a creamy broth that warms you from the inside out.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 package (16 ounces) gnocchi
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- Gather and prep all ingredients. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, chop the spinach, and open the gnocchi package.
- In a large pot over medium heat, add the Italian sausage and ground beef. Break the meat into small pieces with a spoon as it browns. Cook until no pink remains and the meat is browned. Drain off excess fat.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, cooking until the onion is translucent (about 3–4 minutes). Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float and are tender (usually 2–4 minutes).
- Stir in the heavy cream, chopped spinach, and Italian seasoning. Warm gently—do not boil hard. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
Brown the meat well for deep flavor. Add cream off heat or low heat to prevent curdling. Fresh spinach should be added at the last minute.
