  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled & cubed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 slices turkey bacon, cooked & crumbled (or regular)
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• Salt & black pepper to taste
• Optional garnish: chopped chives, extra yogurt drizzle


Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion until soft (~4 mins), add garlic and cook 30 sec more.
  2. Add potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 15–20 mins until potatoes are very tender.
  3. Use an immersion blender to lightly purée—leave it chunky for texture (or mash with a fork).
  4. Stir in Greek yogurt, cheddar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook 2–3 mins until cheese melts.
  5. Ladle into bowls, top with crumbled bacon and chives. Drizzle extra yogurt if desired.
