Gnocchi, Sausage & Spinach Soup

sea or Kosher salt and fresh black pepper

1 pound italian sausage ground like jimmy dean

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp dried basil

32 oz chicken broth

1 lbs gnocchi (store bought or make your own)

2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves, rough chopped

3/4 cups half and half or heavy cream

In a large pot brown sausage, onion, peppers, garlic and dried basil until cooked. If there is any grease to drain, do so. I didn't have much grease.

Add chicken broth.

simmer for 20 mins.

Add the gnocchi and spinach, cook until gnocchi float to the top, usually 3 minutes.

Add the half and half.

Enjoy.
