Ingredients

3 tablespoon butter
1 yellow onion, diced (about 1.5 cups)
1 carrot diced (about ½ cup)
2 stalks celery, diced (about ½ cup)
4 cloves garlic, pressed
2.5 lbs peeled yellow potatoes, cut into 1 inch pieces (about 6 potatoes)
4 cups chicken bone broth
1.5 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
2 springs fresh rosemary
3 springs fresh thyme
2 cups 4% cottage cheese
½ cup chopped chives
1 cup cheddar cheese
8 slices turkey bacon (or regular bacon), cooked

Instructions

To a large pot over medium high heat, add butter. Once butter is melted add onion, carrot, celery and garlic. Saute until onions are translucent in color and garlic is fragrant.
To the pot add potatoes, bone broth, salt, black pepper, paprika, rosemary and thyme. Stir to combine and turn the heat to high.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover. Cook for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
After 10 minutes, remove the rosemary and thyme. Remove from the heat and use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.
Once smooth, stir in the cottage cheese and blend again.
Stir in half of the chives, taste and adjust salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve soup topped with cheese, bacon and additional chives.

Notes

If you prefer you can add additional bacon and cheese directly into the soup!

For added creaminess- top with a dollop or Greek yogurt or sour cream
