# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat, until browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
02 -
If the pot is dry, add a splash of olive oil. Add chopped onion, celery, and sliced carrots to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are lightly browned and vegetables soften, about 8 to 10 minutes.
03 -
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
04 -
Return browned sausage to the pot. Add chicken broth, tomato sauce, uncooked gnocchi, and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine.
05 -
Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
06 -
Stir in fresh baby spinach and basil until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
