Ingredients

    1 tsp. olive oil
    1 cup chopped onion
    3 T. minced garlic
    2 cups grated carrot (use lg grate-side so it's chunky pieces) about 2 large carrots
    8 red potatoes, peeled and chopped
    2 1/2 cups no fat, no sodium chicken broth (I made my own)
    fresh ground black pepper to taste
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1 1/2 cups non fat milk
    1 cup shredded 2% reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese
    1/4 tsp. hot pepper sauce
    1 T. Hormel 50% less fat bacon bits

Directions

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.

Makes 8 - 1 cup servings

    Delicious! This is the perfect comfort food and it's hard to believe its so healthy. I loved it and I did enjoy it over wheat biscuits which made it more like stew for me. Very good!! - 2/27/10

    I followed the directions almost exactly, except discovered I was out of milk half way through. Even without the milk this was easy and delicious! I can't wait to enjoy this for lunches this week! - 10/13/13

    Very Good
    Really good, made just as directed except only put 2 T of garlic. Next time I'll follow the recipe exactly, mine could have used the extra T. Otherwise, very easy and yummy. - 2/13/13

    I had no carrots on hand when I made this, so I substituted butternut squash - what a yummy and simple recipe! Thank you for sharing! - 1/18/12
