# Ingredients:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped and soaked
02 - 1 small yellow onion, diced finely
03 - 1 ring (13.9 oz) kielbasa, cut into thick slices
04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)
05 - 2 tablespoons minced garlic

→ Liquids & Dairy

06 - 1 cup heavy cream
07 - 3 cups chicken broth
08 - 1 block (8 oz) softened cream cheese
09 - 2 cups water

→ Seasonings

10 - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
11 - 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
12 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Add-Ins & Garnish

13 - Chopped parsley for topping
14 - Grated parmesan for finishing
15 - 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
16 - 16 ounces uncooked potato gnocchi

# Instructions:

01 - In a big pot, warm up the olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the kielbasa slices for 3-5 minutes on each side, until the edges turn crispy.
02 - Add the diced onion and the sun-dried tomatoes. Stir and sauté for 3-5 minutes until the onion looks soft. Toss in the minced garlic and cook for just a minute longer.
03 - Pour in the chicken broth, water, heavy cream, and sprinkle in the seasoning. Drop in the cream cheese, stirring patiently until it's completely mixed in.
04 - Put the gnocchi in the pot. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, and you'll know it’s ready when the gnocchi rise to the top.
05 - Add fresh spinach to the pot and simmer everything until the spinach has wilted. Serve with parsley and parmesan on top.

# Notes:

01 - Soup becomes thicker over time.
02 - You'll know the gnocchi is done once it floats to the surface.
