Servings 6 people
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon diced
- Half onion diced
- 1 carrot peeled and diced
- 1 celery rib diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3 large potatoes about 2 ¼ lbs Russet or similar, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch dice with or without skin
- 5 cups veggie broth or chicken, homemade or high-quality store-bought
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Elmhurst Unsweetened Almond Milk can substitute regular milk or cream
Recommended Toppings
- bacon
- green onions sliced
Instructions
- In a large soup pot over medium heat cook the diced bacon while stirring until brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the onion, carrot, and celery to the pot and cook until the onion begins to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute being careful not to let it burn.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot along with the broth and salt. Bring to a boil then turn down to a low simmer and cook uncovered until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove a third of the potato chunks (it's okay if some other good stuff comes out with them) and puree remaining soup. I like to use my hand immersion blender for this job. Stir back in the chunks along with the milk or cream until heated through, garnish with green onions and/or more bacon, and serve.
Notes
We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
Nut-free if grain milk, regular milk, or cream are used.
