Ingredients


  • 6 thick slices bacon
  • 1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • ½ cup chopped carrots
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 4 cups low-fat, low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 cups cubed potatoes
  •  teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt


Directions


  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.
