A simple, creamy, vegan potato soup with plant-based bacon flavoring.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 slices plant-based bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 2 large bay leaves
- ½ cup vegan butter
- 1 ½ cups almond milk
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried chives, or more to taste
Directions
Step 1
Heat oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium heat. Add plant-based bacon and cook until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion, carrots, and celery and cook for 3 minutes.
Step 2
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 3 tablespoons flour and cook, stirring continuously, until lumps are dissolved. Stir in potatoes, thyme, and pepper. Add broth and bay leaves. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 25 to 30 minutes.
Step 3
While the soup is cooking, melt vegan butter in a skillet over low heat. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon flour and cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add milk. Cook, stirring constantly, over low to medium-low heat until mixture thickens to a cream-like consistency.
Step 4
When the soup has finished cooking, pour in the vegan cream and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in parsley and chives and serve.
Cook’s Notes:
You can use fresh thyme if preferred, and any plant-based milk.
