  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    In a large pot, melt the butter. Add in garlic and onions and saute until onions are translucent and tender.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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!
