  3. Add gnocchi to the simmering broth and cook for 2-3 minutes until they float and are tender.
  4. Reduce heat to low and stir in cheddar cheese gradually until melted and the soup is creamy.
  5. Return the cooked bacon to the pot and stir well to combine all flavors.
  6. If using, add vegetables like spinach or kale and heat for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then ladle soup into bowls and garnish with reserved bacon or fresh herbs.
