Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, add diced bacon and cook for 5-7 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Stir frequently to ensure even cooking. Once done, use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon, letting it drain on a paper towel, while leaving the flavorful drippings in the pot for the next steps.
- Add diced onion to the pot with the remaining bacon drippings, and sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onion is translucent and fragrant. Next, stir in minced garlic and chopped rosemary, cooking for another minute until aromatic but not browned.
- Incorporate diced boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the pot, seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for 2 minutes.
- Gently stir the pierogi into the bubbling broth. Cover the pot and cook according to the package directions, typically about 5-7 minutes.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Allow the soup to simmer gently for another 5 minutes.
- Ladle the Creamy Pierogi Chicken Soup into bowls, topping each serving with the reserved crispy bacon bits. Optionally garnish with chopped parsley.
