Creamy Sausage & Gnocchi Soup | Easy Comfort Food Recipe

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Parmesan cheese

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Heat a pot and add a little olive oil.

Add 1 pound of Italian pork sausage to the pot and break it up.

Season the meat with a little salt while cooking.

Drain excess grease from the cooked sausage.

Add 1 chopped onion and 1/2 cup of chopped carrots to the pot.

Cook the onion and carrots for about 3 to 4 minutes until slightly soft.

Add 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes. Stir and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.

Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and stir well.

Add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and stir again.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, stir the soup and add 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, stirring until well combined.

Add 2 cups of spinach and stir it into the soup.

Cook for an additional 5 minutes to let the spinach wilt and flavors meld.
