Parmesan rind in soup

Adding a parmesan rind in soup really helps infuse the broth with flavor! The parmesan rind is like the “crust” of the cheese. Instead of throwing it away, you can keep it for soups.

When the soup is done, simply remove the remaining rind. It will be soft and broken down. It’s also possible that the rind will fully dissolve. Yum!

If you haven’t added a parmesan rind in soup before, I highly recommend it!

Making this soup

Follow the below steps to make this gnocchi soup:

In a large pot, brown the chicken sausage with one tablespoon of oil. About 5 minutes.

Add the veggies and continue to sauté for another 3-5 minutes.

Now add in the seasonings (salt, pepper and basil) along with the diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Mix to combine and cook another minute.

Add the broth and cheese. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes.

Add in the gnocchi and boil for another 2-3 minutes until the gnocchi is cooked.

Serve and enjoy!

Frequent asked questions

Can I use pork sausage? Of course! You can use any type of meat you like. Regular sausage, Italian sausage, or hot sausage will all work well. Just make sure you remove the casings and brown it in the pan.

Can I use different veggies? Definitely! Try adding zucchini or spinach. Just please note that different veggies can change the flavor profile of this soup.

Can I omit the cheese? Yes you can but I recommend leaving it as it adds so much flavor! Omitting the cheese can also change the flavor profile of this soup.

Can I make this soup in advance? Yes! Store sausage gnocchi soup in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.
