Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the vegan sausage and crumble with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring frequently until browned.
Add the onion, garlic, pepper, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning and a splash of broth. Scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan and allow everything to cook down for 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the rest of the broth and gnocchi. Bring it to a boil and allow everything to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Add the vegan half & half and the kale. Cover and turn heat to low. Cook for 5 more minutes and serve.
*I used vegan chicken broth, which you can get online here. You can also use your favorite broth instead. If you are sensitive to sodium, you can also sub 1 cup of broth for 1 cup of water.
