  2. Add diced onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and chopped celery to the pot. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
  3. Introduce the chicken thighs to the pot, cooking for 5-7 minutes until browned on all sides.
  4. Pour in chicken broth, followed by fresh herbs. Simmer over medium-high heat for about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Remove and shred the cooked chicken, then return it to the pot with mini potato pierogies. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes.
  6. Lower heat and stir in heavy cream and cheddar cheese, mixing until melted and creamy.
  7. Serve the soup in bowls, topped with crispy bacon and chopped parsley.
