Bacon Cheeseburger Gnocchi Soup

Ingredients

• 12 oz bacon (Chopped; reserve some cooked bacon for topping.)
• 1.5 lb ground beef (The source does not specify the fat percentage.)
• 1 yellow onion (Diced.)
• caramelized onion burger seasoning (Season the beef generously; amount to taste. The creator used this seasoning, but says any preferred seasoning may be used.)
• 4 cup low-sodium beef broth
• 2 cup heavy cream
• 3 cup sharp cheddar cheese (Shredded; add about 1 cup at a time. Reserve a little for topping.)
• 16 oz potato gnocchi (One 16-ounce package.)
• green onions (Sliced, for topping.)

Steps

1. 1

   Place a large pot over low to medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crisp to your liking.

2. 2

   Remove the bacon from the pot and drain it on paper towels. Remove the bacon grease from the pot, saving it for later if desired.

3. 3

   Add the ground beef and diced onion to the same pot. Season generously with the caramelized onion burger seasoning, or with another preferred seasoning.

4. 4

   Cook the ground beef and onion until the beef is fully cooked. While it cooks, shred the cheddar cheese and set it aside.

5. 5

   Drain all grease from the cooked beef. Season the beef again generously with the same seasoning.

6. 6

   Pour in the low-sodium beef broth. Bring the broth to a boil, then reduce the heat.

7. 7

   Add the heavy cream. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, heating it through without allowing the soup to boil.

8. 8

   Add the shredded cheddar gradually, about 1 cup at a time, stirring until each addition melts and the soup becomes creamy.

9. 9

   Add the gnocchi. Bring the soup to a simmer, then cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

10. 10

    Stir some of the cooked bacon back into the soup, reserving some for the topping.

11. 11

    Serve the soup topped with additional shredded cheddar, reserved bacon, and sliced green onions.

Notes

The source does not specify the exact amount of seasoning, topping cheese, reserved bacon, or green onions. It also does not specify the ground beef fat percentage. Do not boil after adding the cream; drain excess grease from the cooked beef before continuing.
