Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Chop onions, carrots, and garlic into small pieces. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, add vegetables and sauté for 5–7 minutes until onions are translucent.
  2. If using bacon, chop and add it to the pot, cooking for about 5 minutes until crispy. Then add cubed chicken, stirring for 6–8 minutes until browned.
  3. Stir in chicken broth, white beans, and cottage cheese. Mix thoroughly and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  4. Increase heat to bring soup to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Use an immersion blender to blend part of the soup until desired creaminess is reached. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Ladle the warm soup into bowls, sprinkle with cheddar cheese, and serve with crusty bread or a simple side salad.
