Bacon Cheddar Gnocchi Soup

Print Recipe

This creamy Bacon Cheddar Gnocchi Soup is a comforting blend of crispy bacon, tender gnocchi, and sharp cheddar cheese, perfect for a cozy meal any day of the week.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 package (16 oz) potato gnocchi
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pot.
  2. Add diced onion to the pot and sauté in bacon fat until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the potato gnocchi and cook until gnocchi float to the top, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped spinach. Stir until cheese is melted and spinach is wilted.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Return cooked bacon to the pot and stir to combine.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives if desired.

Notes

For extra creaminess, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream or add a splash of white wine before simmering.
