Description

A chunky, creamy potato soup designed to add extra protein without becoming heavy, perfect for weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup milk (or a non-dairy alternative)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • 1 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced potatoes and sauté for about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth.
  6. Stir in the milk, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  7. Add in the shredded cheese and stir until melted.
  8. Top with green onions and crumbled bacon before serving.

Notes

The flavors meld after a day, and a brief simmer brightens them again before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
