Description
A high protein version of broccoli cheese soup, this high protein broccoli cheddar soup is rich and creamy but nutrient-dense and boasts 25 grams of protein in a single bowl.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound mini golden/yellow potatoes (or regular golden potatoes, diced)
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 5 cloves garlic
- 2 cups chicken bone broth
- 2 cups milk (skim, 2% and whole milk all work well)
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 10 ounces frozen broccoli, steamed
- 10 ounces frozen cauliflower, steamed
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste, if preferred)
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 8 slices bacon, precooked and diced
- Optional toppings: Additional shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, green onion
Instructions
- In a large pot on the stove, boil golden potatoes in water until softened. Add in the broccoli and cauliflower at the end (2-3 minutes) to soften them a bit. Drain the potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower and set aside.
- In a large pot, melt the butter. Add in garlic and onions and saute until onions are translucent and tender.
- In a high-powered blender, blend bone broth, milk, softened potatoes, steamed broccoli, steamed cauliflower and cottage cheese until smooth. Pour into the large pot with the butter, garlic and onion.
- Carefully stir in the Greek yogurt, cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. Continue stirring until cheese is fully melted. Add in the bacon and stir to combine.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, top with desired toppings (I love additional crumbled bacon, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese and finely diced green onion) and enjoy!
