Sausage Gnocchi Soup

Gnocchi are small, quick cooking dumplings usually made from potatoes.  Look for it with the dried pasta at the supermarket.

Ingredients:
1 (4.5 oz) link hot turkey Italian sausage (I use 1 pound ground Italian sausage)
2 cups water
1 (16 oz) package vacuum-packed gnocchi
1 (14oz) can fat-free, less sodium beef broth (use beef bouillon with water)
1 (14 1/2 oz) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes, undrained and chopped
1/2 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese

Directions:
Remove casings from sausage.  Cook sausage in a large Dutch oven (or stock pot) over medium high heat until browned, stirring to crumble.  Add 2 cups water and next 3 ingredients to pan; bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer 4 to 5 minutes or until gnocchi float to the top of the pan.  Ladle soup into bowls; sprinkle each serving evenly with cheese.
