Healthy Potato Soup: Recipe Rehab Season 3 - Episode 22 Preview

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese cuts calories without losing flavor

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked sausage

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while smoked sausage adds a different flavor profile.

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.

Chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth to the pot.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Use a potato masher to mash some of the potatoes for a creamy texture, leaving some chunks for heartiness.

Stir in the heavy cream and bring back to a gentle simmer.

Add salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.

Mix in half of the cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

Serve hot, garnished with remaining cheese, crumbled bacon, green onions, sour cream, and parsley.
