Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium (about 2.5 lbs) Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 4 cups Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Skim milk
- 0.5 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 stalks (for garnish) Green onions
- 4 slices (optional garnish) Turkey bacon
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Add the diced potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, and broth to the crockpot. Sprinkle in the black pepper, kosher salt, and paprika.
Set the crockpot to low and cook for 6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and easy to mash with a fork.
Once cooked, use a potato masher to mash some of the cooked potatoes directly in the crockpot to create a slightly chunky texture. For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender in short bursts.
Stir in the skim milk and non-fat Greek yogurt, mixing until the soup is creamy and fully combined.
Add the reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese to the soup and stir until it melts into the mixture.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve hot in bowls, garnished with chopped green onions and crumbled turkey bacon if desired. Each serving is approximately 1.5 cups.
