Tips for the Best Sausage, Spinach & Gnocchi Soup:

• Sausage Selection: We recommend using Italian sausage (mild or hot, depending on your preference). You can use bulk sausage or remove it from the casings.
• Spinach Power: Fresh spinach wilts down quickly, but you can also use frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry).
• Gnocchi Choice: Shelf-stable or refrigerated gnocchi both work well in this recipe. Be careful not to overcook the gnocchi, as it can become mushy.
• Broth Boost: Using a good quality chicken broth makes a big difference in the flavor of the soup. Low-sodium broth allows you to control the salt level.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Can I use different vegetables in this soup?
A: Absolutely! Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots, celery, or zucchini.

Q: Can I make this soup ahead of time?
A: Yes, but the gnocchi will absorb some of the broth as it sits. You may need to add a little more broth when reheating.

Q: Is this soup gluten-free?
A: It depends on the gnocchi you use. Some gnocchi contain wheat flour. Look for gluten-free gnocchi if needed.
