Old Fashion Chunky Potato Soup Recipe

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked sausage

Turkey bacon is lower in fat and calories

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor without dairy

Toss the potatoes with the onion, celery, flour and salt and pepper; set aside for about 10 minutes.

Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or soup pot. Add the potato mixture to the pot; stir to coat.

Add enough water to cover the potatoes and bring to a boil; stir in the milk, reduce to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally about 25 to 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

Taste, adjust salt and pepper, and continue cooking on simmer, uncovered, until the soup reaches desired consistency and thickness.

Garnish each serving with shredded cheese if you like and serve immediately.
