1 cup carrots, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown the sausage: Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up as it browns. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same pot, sauté the garlic and carrots for about 3 minutes, until tender.
- Add the broth: Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Cook the gnocchi: Add the gnocchi and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the top.
- Stir in spinach and cream: Add the spinach and heavy cream, letting the spinach wilt and the cream thicken the soup.
- Add the sausage back: Return the cooked sausage to the pot and stir in the thyme, salt, and pepper. Let the soup simmer for 5 minutes.
- Serve: Serve hot, garnished with extra herbs or Parmesan if desired.
