Ingredients

• 4 medium Potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
• 6 slices Turkey bacon
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 4 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup Fat-free half-and-half
• 1 as needed Olive oil spray
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 2 stalks Green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes and set aside.

Step 2

Slice the turkey bacon into small strips. Spray a large pot with olive oil spray and place it over medium heat. Add the turkey bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the bacon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 3

Finely chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves. In the same pot used for the bacon, add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme to the pot. Stir well and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 6

Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth. If you do not have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.

Step 7

Stir in the fat-free half-and-half and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Serve the soup in bowls topped with the crispy turkey bacon and sliced green onions for garnish, if desired.
