Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 1 pound turkey bacon, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 package (16 oz) gnocchi
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat over medium heat and add the chopped turkey bacon. Cook until crisp, about 5-7 minutes, then remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, remove excess grease, leaving a tablespoon. Add diced onions and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken broth to the pot, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
  4. Once simmering, add the gnocchi to the broth and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until they float to the top, indicating they’re done.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and cheese. Continue to stir for a couple of minutes until the cheese has melted and the soup is creamy and delightful.
  6. Add the crispy turkey bacon back into the soup. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For a Halal-compliant twist, use chicken or beef bacon. For a vegetarian version, substitute with plant-based bacon alternatives and vegetable broth. Avoid overcooking the gnocchi to prevent mushiness.
