Recipe: Slow Cooker Creamy Gnocchi Sausage Kale Soup – Thick, Cozy One-Pot Wonder

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Place the browned sausage, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, broth, Italian seasoning, vegetable stock powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a crockpot or slow cooker.

Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 6-8 hours.

Add the evaporated milk (or half and half or cream), milk/cornstarch mixture, and gnocchi.

Stir and replace cover. Cook another 30 minutes until the soup has thickened and the gnocchi has softened.

Add in the chopped kale (or spinach), cover for an extra 5 minutes or until just beginning to wilt.

Taste test and season with extra salt and pepper, if desired. Serve immediately with optional parmesan cheese and bacon.
