This gnocchi spinach soup is one of those dishes ideal for warming the soul on a winter day. This is similar to an Italian wedding soup but creamy with meatballs and potato gnocchi. I make my own chicken stock and meatballs, but you can use store-bought.

Ingredients

  • olive oil: 2 Tbsp (or as needed)
  • yellow onion: 1 piece (diced)
  • garlic: 4 clove (minced)
  • low-sodium chicken broth: 4 cans (32 ounce cans)
  • bay leaf: 1 piece
  • italian seasoning: 2 tsp
  • sea salt: 0.5 tsp
  • ground black pepper: 0.25 tsp
  • Potato gnocchi: 2 packages (17.5 ounce packages)
  • escarole: 2 cups (thinly sliced)
  • carrot: 1 piece (shredded)
  • half-and-half: 1 cup
  • ounces fresh baby spinach leaves: 6 piece
  • fresh basil or Italian parsley: 2 Tbsp (minced)
  • freshly grated Parmesan cheese: 0.25 cup (or more if needed, for serving)
  • ¼ pounds ground beef: 1 piece
  • egg: 1 piece (beaten)
  • Italian seasoned bread crumbs: 0.25 cup
  • Parmesan cheese: 2 Tbsp (grated)

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat and sauté onion in hot oil until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chicken broth, bay leaf, Italian seasoning, sea salt, and pepper; bring slowly to a simmer, about 5 minutes.

  3. Drop meatballs carefully, one at a time, into simmering soup in the pot. Bring to a slow simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Skim off any foam that comes to the surface with a spoon and discard.
