Main Ingredients
- 6 strips bacon
- 0.5 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth

Cooking Instructions
- Cut the bacon into small pieces and add it to a soup pot over medium-high heat. Cook until crispy (about 10 minutes).
- Meanwhile, prep the other ingredients.
- Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate and leave about 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the pot.
- Add the onion to the pot and sauté for 4-5 minutes or until softened and lightly browned.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the chicken broth, cream, Italian seasoning, gnocchi, and most of the cooked bacon to the pot. Give it a good stir and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Increase the heat to high and bring it to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat so it's gently simmering and cover the pot with the lid slightly ajar. Cook for 15 minutes.
- Once the soup is as thick as you want it to be, add in the cooked chicken and the spinach. Let it warm through for a few minutes. Season with salt & pepper as needed and serve immediately.
Notes
Serves 4-6 depending on how much people eat. Use low-sodium chicken broth if sensitive to salt. The gnocchi cooks right in the soup—no need to pre-cook it.
