Ingredients

8-10 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
1 tbsp butter or olive oil
1 large onion, diced
2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
4 cups chicken broth
1-2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper

¼ tsp dried thyme
½-1 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
16 oz gnocchi
2 cups heavy cream or half-and-half
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (medium or sharp)

Instructions

Cook the bacon in a pot until crispy. Once it’s done, chop it up and set it aside.
In the same pot, heat the butter or olive oil and sauté the diced onions and sliced carrots until they’re tender.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring everything to a simmer.
Stir in the heavy cream, seasonings, and shredded cheese, mixing continuously until the cheese melts.
Add the gnocchi to the pot and cook for about 2 minutes or until they’re soft.
Stir in the cooked bacon, taste, and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot!

Notes

For extra flavor, use homemade chicken broth. Add vegetables like spinach or kale for additional nutrition.
