In a large pot, cook bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving a little grease.
Sauté onion and garlic in the bacon drippings until softened.
Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, then bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in gnocchi and cook 3–4 minutes, until they float to the top.
Add cheddar cheese, carrots, spinach, thyme, paprika, salt & pepper. Stir until cheese is melted and soup is creamy.
