Sauté 4 vegan Beyond sausage links (or other vegan sausage) in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Use a wooden spoon to break the sausages into small bite-sized pieces while cooking.
Add 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of Italian herbs, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of red chili flakes, and 4 cups of shredded kale, and sauté for another 2-3 minutes, until the kale is wilted.
Add 4 cups of vegan broth and a cup of diced tomatoes, and bring to a low boil for 5 minutes.
Add 2 containers of gnocchi to the soup and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Stir in 1 1/2 cups of vegan sour cream (or cashew cream) and add more salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with vegan parmesan and serve hot.
Notes
Add the sour cream at the end of cooking. Turn off the heat once it has been added.
If you are going to swap the kale for spinach, be sure to add the spinach along with the cream at the end of cooking.
Feel free to add more red pepper flakes and/or a dash of cayenne to the soup for added spice.
