Ready to get cooking? Follow these simple steps to bring this delicious soup to life:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Stir in the heavy cream and bring back to a gentle simmer. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the top, indicating they’re done, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Add the fresh spinach to the pot, stirring until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with Parmesan cheese if desired, and serve hot.

From my experience, it’s those little moments—like watching the gnocchi rise—that make cooking at home so rewarding. And don’t worry if your counters get messy; it’s all part of the fun!
