4 cups potatoes (cubed)
1 cup onion (diced)
1 cup turkey bacon (about 1/2 lb., cooked crispy, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces)
1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
6 teaspoons gorgonzola
8 ounces light cream cheese
1 cup skim milk
1 quart fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon ground cumin
½ tablespoon paprika
½ tablespoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

1
Add olive oil to pot and about 1/2 potatoes to pot.

Quickly brown coated potatoes in olive oil (they will not be fully cooked, just browned).

Add stock, remaining spices, remaining potatoes, bacon, and onion and bring to a boil.
5
Reduce to low heat.
6
Add cream cheese (breaking into cubes speeds this process along) and milk.

Incorporate cheddar cheese 1/3 at a time, stirring constantly (some potatoes will break in this process, this is ok and necessary to thicken the soup).
