A Couple Looking at Documents while Their Daughters are Sitting on a Kitchen Counter

I am an Italian citizen and my wife is Vietnamese with an UK residence card. We live in London and we have a daughter who was born a few months ago.

We're requesting for her both the Italian and the Vietnamese passports. It looks like the Vietnamese will be ready shortly while for the Italian it seems we're going to need to wait for longer.

I was looking for information about what documents are needed for my daughter to be able to enter back in the UK if we were to leave. If we get both the passports we won't have any problem, but I'm interested in knowing what would be needed assuming we manage to get only the Vietnamese passport before our trip.
