Notes On My Sausage and Potato Soup Recipe

This Creamy Sausage Gnocchi Soup is easy to whip up in under 30 minutes.

It’s perfect for batch cooking – I kept mine in a fridge and had a portion daily for a week!

My favourite way to eat this is with a side of gluten free doughballs for dunking, or slices of a of crusty, gluten free baguette for mopping up the rich, garlic broth.

For something different, swap the chunks of potato for gluten free gnocchi instead. It will need a lot less cooking though if you do this – just five minutes instead of 10 (at recipe step 4).

Ingredients and Substitutions

There’s a printable recipe card below for this sausage and gnocchi soup recipe with the full quantities. But here are the main ingredients and ideas for any swaps.

  • Gluten Free Pork Sausages: If you can get a sausage which is more Italian flavoured or garlicky, this is my favourite for this recipe. I love the Sainsbury’s Toulouse ones or the M&S Italian sausages, both of which are gluten free.
  • Potato: Any potato works (even sweet potato, if you fancy it) but I tend to use a floury potato like King Edward (UK) or Russet (US).
  • Onion and Celery: These form the base of the soup – I’d recommend using both for maximum flavour, but you could use one or the other.
  • Garlic: I use garlic paste but you could use chopped, frozen or fresh minced garlic.
  • Italian Seasoning: Mostly these are gluten free but double check – it should typically be a mix of rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano and garlic; some have red pepper flakes.
  • Chicken Stock: Use a gluten free stock pot, chicken bone broth, or your own homemade chicken stock. You can also swap for vegetable stock if you prefer.
  • Kale: Or any green leaf like spinach, cavolo nero spring greens would work.
  • Double Cream: Or heavy cream in the US.

Storing and Freezing Instructions

TO STORE: I found this keeps in the fridge for 4-5 days, and then you can just portion off a bit to reheat when you need it.

TO FREEZE: You can freeze this soup, but you may find the potatoes go a bit mushy when defrosted. If that doesn’t bother you, go ahead!

Ingredients 

  • 6 gluten free pork sausages, (Italian or Garlic ones are the best!)
  • 1 onion, very finely chopped
  • 2 sticks celery, very finely chopped
  • 2 tsp garlic paste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 400 g potato, cut into 1-2cm cubes
  • 1200 ml chicken stock
  • 85 g chopped kale, leaves only
  • 100 ml double cream
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions 

  • Remove the skins from the sausages and use a sharp knife to roughly chop the meat.
  • Add the olive oil to a large, lidded pan, place on a medium-high heat. Add the sausage meat and cook (using a spatula to break it up) until it is browned – approx 5 mins.
  • Add the onions, celery, garlic and Italian seasoning. Fry for another 5-6 minutes until softened.
  • Add the potato cubes and stir well. Pour in the hot chicken stock and bring to the boil. Turn down to a simmer, place the lid on the pan and simmer for around 10 minutes until the potato is cooked through.
  • Remove the lid, add the cream and kale and stir well. Place the lid back on for another minute until the kale is wilted, then serve.

Notes

  • This soup will keep for up to a week in the fridge. You can freeze it but you may find the potato falls apart a bit, so probably best made fresh with less quantities, if you think you’ll have too much!
  • For variations, try swapping the potato for gluten free gnocchi and reducing the simmer time to 5 minutes. You could also add some canned white beans or butter beans with the kale for extra bulk and texture!
