Delicious, hot, filling, creamy, starchy, and filled with protein!
2 lbs peeled, chopped Yukon Golds
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups blended lowfat cottage cheese
1 diced sweet onion
2 tbsp butter
2 cups ultrafiltered nonfat milk*
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp minced garlic
Salt & pepper to taste
*I use Kroger Carbmaster nonfat milk because it's higher protein and lower calorie, but Fairlife would be a good choice as well
Saute the onion and garlic in butter, add chicken stock, add potatoes, and boil 'til soft. Using an immersion blender, blend the cornstarch into the milk, then add to the pot and blend the soup together with your salt and pepper. Blend your cottage cheese smooth and stir it into the hot soup.
I measured 8 bowls of this soup for 165 calories and 13.5g protein per serving, which is nuts considering it's potato soup. Next time I might try adding carrots amd celery, maybe corn and crumbled turkey bacon if I feel like sparing some extra calories.
I'm eating this now with Schmidt's Old Tyme 647 Italian bread only because they haven't come out with sourdough yet!
