Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed and diced
• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup fat-free milk
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup chopped chives
• 6 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the diced potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, or until tender.

2. In a large pot, cook the chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat until translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

3. Add the baked potatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.

4. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and process until smooth.

5. Stir in the milk, Greek yogurt, and shredded cheddar cheese until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crumbled turkey bacon and chopped chives. Serve hot and enjoy!

Helpful Tips

– For a heartier texture, reserve some of the baked potato pieces and add them back into the soup after blending.

– Garnish with additional toppings such as a dollop of Greek yogurt, extra shredded cheese, or a sprinkle of paprika for extra flavor.

– To save time, use pre-cooked diced potatoes.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally.

Pairings

This hearty soup pairs wonderfully with a fresh loaf of crusty bread or a side salad. For drinks, consider serving it with a light white wine or a warm cup of herbal tea.
