Loaded Gnocchi Soup 

🧂 Ingredients

• 6-8 bacon

  slices
• 1 tbsp bacon drippings
• 1 1/2 tbsp onion powder

  or diced small onion
• 1 tbsp garlic

  minced
• 1/2 cup fresh kale

  chopped
• 4 cups chicken broth

  low sodium
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 16 oz gnocchi
• black pepper

  to taste
• cheddar cheese

  shredded
• green onions
• sour cream

Instructions

• 1 In a large bowl over medium heat combine 1 tbsp of bacon grease, onion (or
  powder), garlic and kale you will want to cook for about 3-4 minutes until kale
  wilts down.
• 2 Meanwhile, if you haven't cooked up the bacon needed you will want to do this.
  You can also use the same pan to cook up bacon that you will use for soup to
  save on dishes. While cooking bacon, make sure to reserve 1 tbsp of bacon
  drippings- you can fry up your bacon in a skillet or use the bacon wizard in the
  microwave. Makes perfectly crisp bacon mess free. Once bacon is cooked you will
  want to crumble and set aside.
• 3 Once the kale was wilted, you will want to add chicken broth.
• 4 Stir together over medium heat and once it comes to a simmer add heavy whipping
  cream and then 5-6 pieces of crumbled bacon to the soup
• 5 Then add gnocchi to the soup and cook for 5 minutes until the gnocchi rises to
  the top. (do not let it boil or the cream will start to separate giving it a
  gritty texture)
• 6 Add black pepper to desire and serve with favorite toppings. I love to reserve a
  few pieces of crumbled bacon to add to top, then cheese, sour cream and green
  onion.
• 7 Then Serve
