Ingredients
- 6 slices center cut bacon, chopped
- 1 tsp reserved bacon grease
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups fat-free chicken broth
- 2 cups plain, unsweetened almond milk
- 1.5 pounds gold potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 2/3 cup plain, fat-free Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup sliced green onions
- optional toppings: extra Greek yogurt, extra cheese, extra sliced green onions, extra bacon
Instructions
- In a large pot, sauté bacon until crispy, then transfer to a towel to drain. Reserve 1 tsp of bacon grease in the pot
- Sauté onions in bacon grease until just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and sauté another minute.
- Whisk in broth, almond milk, potatoes, chili powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover and lower to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. (The smaller you dice your potatoes, the faster your soup will cook.)
- Carefully transfer about 1/3 of the soup mixture to a blender an puree, or use an immersion blender until soup is slightly creamy but still chunky.
- Take soup off heat. Mix in cheese, green onions, and Greek yogurt until thoroughly combined. Mix in bacon, reserving a little for the top.
- Taste and season with extra salt and pepper, if needed.
