Description

This SUPER tasty Creamy Sausage & Spinach Gnocchi Chowder is really what winter dreams are made of.


Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 vegan sausages, crumbled
  • 3 cups cubed white potato (approx 470 g)
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup nondairy milk
  • 2 bay leaves (optional)
  • 1 cup gnocchi
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • big handful of spinach

Instructions

  1. In a large pot on medium heat, add the oil, onion and garlic and cook a few minutes until onion starts to become translucent. Add the sausage and cook about 3 minutes until browned.
  2. Add the potatoes, broth, water, nondairy milk and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until potatoes are soft.
  3. Using a potato masher, gently mash some of the potato cubes to break them up and thicken the chowder. If you think it is too thick, add a splash more water.
  4. Add the gnocchi, lemon juice, smoked paprika, salt and pepper and simmer around 5 minutes, until gnocchi is cooked (cook according to package directions- some gnocchi cooks in as little as 2 minutes).
  5. Remove the bay leaves. Add the spinach and stir until wilted. Serve hot, and enjoy!
