Ingredients

5 slices OSCAR MAYER Bacon, chopped into 1/4-inch-thick strips
1 cup each chopped carrots, celery and yellow onions
2 Tbsp. flour
1-1/2 cups milk
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed
3/4 lb. baking potatoes (about 2), peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 cups fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

Cook and stir bacon in medium saucepan until crisp. Remove bacon from pan with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard all but 2 Tbsp. drippings from pan.
Add carrots, celery and yellow onions to reserved drippings; cook on medium heat 5 min. or until vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring frequently. Add flour; cook and stir 1 min. Gradually stir in milk; cook 3 min. or until vegetable mixture is slightly thickened, stirring constantly. Add cream cheese; cook on medium-low heat 2 to 3 min. or until completely melted.
Add potatoes and chicken broth; stir. Bring to boil on medium heat; cover. Simmer on medium-low heat 20 to 25 min. or until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
Serve topped with bacon and green onions.
