Step-by-Step Instructions for Bacon Cheddar Gnocchi Soup
  1. Cook the Bacon: Place a large pot over medium heat. Add diced bacon and cook for about 5–7 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the fat in the pot.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add butter or olive oil. Add diced onion and sliced carrots, sauté for about 5–7 minutes until soft and translucent.
  3. Create the Soup Base: Pour in chicken broth, scrape the bottom, and bring to a simmer for about 3 minutes.
  4. Add Cream and Cheese: Reduce heat to low, stir in cream, season, and fold in cheddar cheese until melted.
  5. Incorporate the Gnocchi: Add gnocchi to the soup, cooking for about 2–3 minutes or until they float.
  6. Finish with Bacon and Serve: Stir in the crispy bacon, adjust seasoning, and serve hot.
