Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 medium-sized Yellow onion
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 large Celery stalk
- 4 cups Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Skim milk
- 0.5 cup Fat-free Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup, shredded Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 3 sliced Green onions
- 4 slices, cooked and crumbled Turkey bacon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes for even cooking.
Finely chop the onion, carrot, and celery; set aside.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the low-sodium broth and add the diced potatoes. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup to your desired consistency. If you prefer a chunkier texture, only blend about half of the soup.
Stir in skim milk, fat-free Greek yogurt, salt, and black pepper, and allow the soup to heat through on low heat for 5 more minutes.
Serve the soup hot, topped with reduced-fat cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, and crumbled turkey bacon for a healthy yet indulgent finish.
