Directions

Safety & Prep:

  1. Wash hands thoroughly and sanitize all work surfaces.
  2. Use the proper color-coded cutting board for each ingredient type.

Cook Bacon & Aromatics:

  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook bacon until browned and crisp, about 3–4 minutes. Remove bacon and set aside. Discard excess bacon fat, but do not wash the pot.
  2. In the same pot, melt butter. Add diced onions with salt and pepper. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until golden but not caramelized.
  3. Add garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, thyme, and chili flakes (if using). Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Return half of the cooked bacon to the pot.

Simmer Soup:

  1. Deglaze the pot with chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. Add gnocchi, kale, heavy cream, milk, and lemon juice. Continue simmering for 5 minutes or until gnocchi floats to the surface.

Serve:

  1. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with remaining bacon and grated Parmesan cheese.

Tip:

  • Prepare broth ahead of time. When ready to serve, add gnocchi, kale, cream, milk, and lemon juice. Simmer until gnocchi floats.
