Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook bacon in a large pot over medium-high heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  2. In the same pot, sauté chopped onions in bacon fat over medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, uncooked gnocchi, and most bacon back to the pot. Stir well.
  4. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and partially cover. Simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add cooked chicken and fresh spinach, stirring gently. Let soup heat through for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve in warm bowls garnished with reserved bacon. Enjoy!
