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

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes for even cooking.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, carrot, and celery; set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Serve the soup hot, topped with reduced-fat cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, and crumbled turkey bacon for a healthy yet indulgent finish.
