Ingredients

    12 red potatoes
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 1/2 cup diced onions
    1 cup diced celery
    1/2 cup diced carrots
    1 cup low sodium chicken broth
    4 cups fat free milk
    2 turkey bacon strips (cooked)
    2 minced garlic cloves
    1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Tips

Can be topped with cheese and green onions. Just note this adds extra calories and fat.


Directions

Boil potatoes for about 10 minuets, just to make them soft. Then drain and dice potatoes in to 1 inch cubes.

In a large non-stick skillet, heat butter. Add onions and saute over medium heat. Then add celery, carrots, and garlic and cook until soft. Add 2 tablespoons of flour and whisk in chicken broth for about 2 minutes.

In a large stock pot, add vegetable mix, milk, and potatoes. Cook over medium to high heat, but do not boil. Cover and stir often. Mean while, take cooked turkey bacon and cook in microwave for about 20 to 30 seconds, until crispy. Then crumble and place into pot. Cook for additional 10 minutes.
