Step 1

Place the Italian sausage in a large stock pot or dutch oven and cook it over medium/high heat. When the Italian sausage is partially cooked (after 2 or 3 minutes) but still pink, add onion. Saute for 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Next, add mushrooms and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes or until the mushrooms cook down. Add the carrots and all the spices and saute for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Next add diced tomatoes and broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add white beans, spinach, and gnocchi. Continue boiling for an additional 3 minutes to cook the gnocchi.

Step 4

After 3 minutes, turn the heat down to low and let simmer for 5-10 minutes. Give the soup a taste and add salt as needed.

Step 5

Serve with freshly cracked pepper.
