HOW TO MAKE ITALIAN SAUSAGE GNOCCHI SOUP

TIPS AND TRICKS
Cheese: Shred your own cheese if possible- freshly shredded cheese melts smoother than pre-shredded cheese.
Italian Sausage: If you do not have italian sausage, you can substitute for ground beef, ground turkey or ground chicken, if desired.
Broth: For this recipe, I used chicken broth. However, you can substitute for beef broth or bone broth for added protein.
Spinach: If you do not have fresh spinach available, you can use frozen spinach. However, I recommend letting the frozen spinach thaw and then squeeze excess water from the frozen spinach to prevent excess water in the soup.
Vegetables: you can add other vegetables to this soup, such as peppers, mushrooms, carrots or celery.
