Description

Indulge in the ultimate comfort food with this Bacon Cheddar Gnocchi Soup. This creamy, cheesy, and hearty soup combines tender potato gnocchi, crispy bacon, and melted cheddar cheese in a rich broth — perfect for cozy dinners and fall weather. Easily customizable and quick to prepare, it’s a delightful twist on classic soups, making it an ideal gluten-free and comforting meal option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound potato gnocchi
  • 6 slices crispy bacon, chopped
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients and prepping the bacon, garlic, and onion for cooking.
  2. In a large pot, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and drain excess fat, leaving a little for flavor. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until translucent and fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the potato gnocchi and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they float to the top, indicating they’re cooked through.
  4. Reduce heat and stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese melts completely and the soup becomes rich and velvety.
  5. Add the cooked bacon back into the soup and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh chives or parsley for added freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • If gluten-free is a concern, ensure your gnocchi are gluten-free; many brands now offer gluten-free options.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a splash of hot sauce.
  • Vary the cheese by using a mix of sharp cheddar and mozzarella for a different cheesy profile.
