List of Ingredients




6 bacon slices
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1 celery stalk -- chopped
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
4 cups diced potatoes
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt


Recipe



Cook bacon until crisp in 3-quart saucepan, remove and drain well on paper
towels. Discard bacon grease and wipe pan thoroughly with paper towel.

Meanwhile, prepare vegetables. Add olive oil to saucepan and add onion,
carrot, and celery as they are cut up. Saute until onion is soft but not
brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in chicken broth, potatoes, and pepper; bring to a boil, reduce heat,
and simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Stir in cheese, heating just until melted--do not boil. Chop bacon and add
to soup. Adjust seasoning to taste by adding salt, if desired. Serve at
once.
