Description

A lighter version of classic loaded baked potato soup.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chopped carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: cooked crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, combine potatoes, chicken broth, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender (about 15-20 minutes).
  2. In a separate pan, sauté onion, garlic, carrots, and celery until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and a little of the soup broth until smooth.
  4. Add the sautéed vegetables to the pot with the potatoes. Stir in the flour mixture.
  5. Simmer for a few minutes until the soup thickens slightly.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in milk, Greek yogurt, and chives. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup for a creamier texture, if desired.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with additional chives and your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, blend more of the soup.
  • Adjust seasonings to your liking.
  • Use low-sodium broth to control the salt content.
