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

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 2

Add the diced potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, and broth to the crockpot. Sprinkle in the black pepper, kosher salt, and paprika.

Step 3

Set the crockpot to low and cook for 6 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and easy to mash with a fork.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Stir in the skim milk and non-fat Greek yogurt, mixing until the soup is creamy and fully combined.

Step 6

Add the reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese to the soup and stir until it melts into the mixture.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 8

Serve hot in bowls, garnished with chopped green onions and crumbled turkey bacon if desired. Each serving is approximately 1.5 cups.
