Ingredients
1 tsp. olive oil1 cup chopped onion3 T. minced garlic2 cups grated carrot (use lg grate-side so it's chunky pieces) about 2 large carrots8 red potatoes, peeled and chopped2 1/2 cups no fat, no sodium chicken broth (I made my own)fresh ground black pepper to taste1/2 tsp. salt1 1/2 cups non fat milk1 cup shredded 2% reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese1/4 tsp. hot pepper sauce1 T. Hormel 50% less fat bacon bits
In a large dutch-oven heat the olive oil on medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute for 2 min. Add carrots and continue sauting for another 5 min. If mixture begins to stick a little, add a little of your chicken broth.
Add potatoes, pepper, salt and chicken broth. Heat until boiling; turn down to keep a nice simmer. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Using an immersion blender, cream mixture part-way, leaving chunks of potatoes. If you do not have one of these, just place 2 cups in a blender and lightly puree. Place back into pan.
Add milk, cheese, hot sauce and bacon. Heat until cheese is melted through. Serve as a stew by cooking it for additional time to thicken. For soup you can add water to consistency wanted. Serve with whole wheat biscuits.
