Gnocchi, Sausage and Spinach Soup

Teresa Ambra

Gluten Free Living – 2014

Gnocchi, Sausage and Spinach Soup is an absolutely wonderful soup recipe. Sausage, spinach, bell peppers and gluten free potato gnocchi in a rich, creamy broth makes for one terrific soup entree. Fall is here in Texas and I love making soups this time of the year especially. Although, I’m one of those odd-balls who enjoy soup all year round – even in the heat of a Texas summer. I especially enjoy soups for lunch but I still serve them for dinner almost every week as well.

I chose to make this soup entirely gluten free by using a gluten free thickener as well as gluten free gnocchi. I have had very good results from substituting gluten free flour for regular flour. The combination of flavors in this soup, plus the toppings of parmesan cheese make it incredibly tasty and delicious.

I was trying to use up some frozen, previously cooked sausage from a few months ago so I used regular, mild, bulk pork sausage in this recipe. I combed through my Pinterest boards until I finally found a recipe where I had all the ingredients on hand. The original recipe calls for Italian sausage, which I would recommend over regular sausage if you have it because it will provide a spicier, different taste than regular sausage.

If you’re looking for a fun soup recipe that’s not like anything you’ve eaten before, I recommend giving Gnocchi, Sausage and Spinach Soup a try. I garnished mine with parmesan cheese, but those trying to keep this recipe dairy free will need to find a soy-based cheese. This soup is hearty, filling and wonderfully satisfying any time of the year, but certainly now that fall has finally arrived. Enjoy a bowl with your family today.

This delicious soup is just what the doctor ordered! Sausage provides a nice zip to the soup. While I used regular sausage, Italian sausage would provide even more heat.

Gnocchi, Sausage and Spinach Soup can easily be made gluten free by using gluten free gnocchi–check the package, many are made with wheat flour. I also used gluten free flour as a thickener.

Here’s what I did.

Add cooked sausage. (You can also fry the sausage and cook the peppers, onion and garlic in the fat from the sausage eliminating the olive oil. But olive oil provides a distinctive taste).
