Turkey Sausage-Gnocchi Soup

By á-4067

Gnocchi are small, quick-cooking dumplings usually made from potatoes. Look for shelf-stable vacuum-packed packages of gnocchi with the dried pasta in your local supermarket. Serve this hearty main-dish soup with a crisp green salad.

Ingredients

• 1 (4.5-ounce) link hot turkey Italian sausage
• 2 cups water
• 1 (16-ounce) package vacuum-packed gnocchi (such as Bellino or Vigo)
• 1 (14-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium beef broth
• 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes, undrained and chopped
• 1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preparation
1. Remove casings from sausage. Cook sausage in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until sausage is browned, stirring to crumble.

2. Add 2 cups water and next 3 ingredients to pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 4 to 5 minutes or until gnocchi float to the top of pan. Ladle soup into bowls; sprinkle each serving evenly with cheese.
