Equipment

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

Optional Garnish

  • cheddar cheese shredded
  • green onions
  • sour cream

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Once the kale was wilted, you will want to add chicken broth.
  • 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
  • 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)
  • 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.
  • Then Serve

Notes

In a hurry and don't want to fry up bacon? Try this Bacon Wizard you will love it and it gives you crisp bacon within minutes mess free it also holds all the drippings at the bottom of the wheel easy to dispose of or store for immediate use or future use.
You can also cook the bacon ahead of time and crumble and reserve the bacon grease for the next day when you make the soup. Make sure to store the bacon in the refrigerator if you decide to make it ahead of time.
