Loaded Mashed Potato Soup

This is the perfect recipe for a beginner who, with basic skills, gives amazing results. If you don't know how to handle a knife, buy chopped onions, grate or squeeze out the garlic, and chop the green onions and dill with kitchen scissors.
Preheat a roasting pan over medium-high heat. Brush the mold with cooking spray. Add the onion; cook for 8 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Add garlic and thyme; cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the broth; simmer for 20 minutes. Remove and discard the thyme sprig. Place half of the stock mixture in a blender. Remove the center part of the blender lid (to release steam); secure the blender lid to the blender. Cover the hole in the blender lid with a clean towel (to avoid splashing). Whisk until smooth. Pour into a large bowl. Repeat the procedure with the remaining stock mixture.Return the stock mixture to the pan; add the pepper and potatoes, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat; add yogurt and dill. Serve on serving plates; top with spring onions, cheese, and crumbled bacon.
