Let’s get cooking! Follow these step-by-step instructions to bring this delightful dish to life:

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
2. Add the diced onion to the same pot, cooking until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer.
4. Stir in the heavy cream, oregano, thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Return the sausage to the pot.
5. Add the gnocchi and let the soup simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the gnocchi are cooked and tender.
6. Stir in the fresh spinach, allowing it to wilt. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
7. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Cooking this soup always reminds me of the vibrant dinners we had at home, where everyone had a role — from stirring pots to setting the table. It’s these little rituals that make cooking so special.
