Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. In the same pot, add diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and chopped rosemary.
  4. Add diced chicken breasts, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for about 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in the pierogi and cook according to package instructions, typically around 5-7 minutes.
  7. Gradually mix in heavy cream, stirring to combine, and let it simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls, topping each with reserved crispy bacon and chopped parsley. Serve warm.
