Gnocchi Zuppa Toscana Recipe
Description
This Gnocchi Zuppa Toscana recipe starts by browning spicy Italian sausage, which provides a flavorful and slightly spicy backbone. Onions and garlic are sautéed in the sausage's drippings until golden to build depth. Then water or broth is added to create the soup base and simmered for 15 minutes, melding flavors.
Chopped kale adds a hearty green element and nutrition, while half-and-half enriches the broth with creaminess. Soft gnocchi is added last and cooked briefly until tender, giving the soup filling texture. Seasoning with salt and black pepper adjusts the flavor to taste.
After cooking, the soup is allowed to rest for a few minutes, helping flavors combine before serving. This soup provides a rich, balanced dish with spicy meat, creamy broth, leafy greens, and pillowy gnocchi suitable for a satisfying meal.
