INGREDIENTS

  • Meat

    • 🥓 6 thick slices bacon

  • Oils and Fats

    • 1 ½ teaspoons olive oil

  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 ½ cup chopped onion
    • 🥕 ½ cup chopped carrots
    • 1 stalk celery, chopped
    • 🥔 4 cups cubed potatoes

  • Broths

    • 4 cups low-fat, low-sodium chicken broth

  • Spices and Seasonings

    • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • Dairy

    • 🧀 ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

STEPS

1

Cook bacon in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Discard bacon grease and wipe the pan thoroughly with a paper towel.

2

Heat olive oil in the same saucepan over medium heat. Sauté onion, carrots, and celery in hot oil until onion is soft but not brown, 3 to 4 minutes.

3

Stir in broth, potatoes, and cayenne pepper; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

4

Stir in cheese, heating just until melted; do not boil. Chop bacon and add to soup. Season with salt and serve hot.
