How to Make Italian Style Gnocchi Soup in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
If you are new around here, you may not know that I am a huge fan of easy recipes that taste great. Those two qualities are what I had in mind when I started creating this Crock Pot Italian Style Gnocchi Soup recipe. It can be thrown together very quickly, especially if you fry your Italian sausage ahead of time. After the Italian sausage is cooked, this recipe is a dump and go recipe, which I love.
This simple recipe is great for when you just want a delicious soup without a lot of fuss. In my home, it was an instant family favorite. The ingredients just come together so well to give you a flavorful soup that is filling but not heavy. It is perfect for any time of year. Busy summer or spring day? This soup is a great choice. Needing some comfort food in fall or winter? I recommend this soup. It is just that good.
