Satisfy your comfort food cravings while working towards your protein goals with this High-Protein Cream of Potato Soup! This classic cozy soup is made more nourishing with whole foods, extra veggies, and 16 grams of protein per serving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1½ pounds yellow potatoes, peeled and diced in 1 inch cubes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (plus extra if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup 2% milk (Fairlife recommended)
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat avocado oil over medium heat in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add onion, celery, and carrots and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until onion is translucent. Add garlic and sauté another minute.
  2. Add potatoes, broth, salt and pepper, and stir. Bring mixture to a simmer, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
  3. Remove pot from heat completely and stir in milk and cream. Add cottage cheese, then blend with immersion blender until completely smooth. Alternatively, blend hot soup in batches with high-speed blender.
  4. Return soup to low heat and gradually stir in cheddar cheese until fully melted. Add extra broth if needed to reach desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook potatoes – simmer for 15 minutes until just fork-tender for best texture.
  • Remove from heat completely before adding dairy to prevent curdling. Use filtered 2% milk for extra protein boost.
  • Yellow potatoes create the smoothest, most velvety texture when blended. Add extra broth if soup becomes too thick.
