Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 1.5 pounds) Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 cups Low sodium vegetable broth
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 stalks Celery
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Skim milk
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup chopped Chives
Instructions
Peel and dice the Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Finely chop the onion and celery, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes and the low sodium vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, puree in batches using a traditional blender, taking care with the hot liquid.
Stir in the non-fat Greek yogurt and skim milk. Season with salt and ground black pepper, mixing thoroughly to combine.
Simmer for another 5 minutes over low heat to allow the flavors to meld but do not let it boil.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped chives for added flavor and color.
