Recipe: Gnocchi, Sausage and Spinach Soup

 My sister gave me this recipe to try and it is delicious! 

I shared a chicken gnocchi soup recipe last week - this is a nice variation of another gnocchi soup. I posted this back in 2015 on my blog but it is worth sharing again to add to your fall/winter recipe collection.

Gnocchi, Sausage and Spinach Soup

1 yellow onion
1 jar roasted red peppers, diced
1 pound sausage
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp dried basil
32 oz. chicken broth
1 pound potato gnocchi
2 cups fresh baby spinach
3/4 cup half & half
fresh basil
Parmesan cheese

In a saucepan, saute the onion and red pepper in olive oil over medium-low heat until tender.  Season well with salt and pepper. Add garlic.  In a separate skillet, brown the sausage and drain.  Add to onion mixture with basil and chicken broth. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Add gnocchi and spinach, bring to a simmer, and cook until the gnocchi puffs up and starts to float. Add half and half, and bring to a simmer for 3-4 minutes.  
Serve with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."  Psalm 27

Ten Tips for Sunday School Teachers
