Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium Carrots, peeled and diced
• 3 Celery stalks, diced
• 1 medium Zucchini, diced
• 2 medium Potatoes, peeled and diced
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 2

Cook the bacon slices in the pot until crispy, about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Keep the bacon for garnish.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the diced carrots, celery, zucchini, and potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to lightly soften the vegetables.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 7

Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some chunks of vegetables for texture. Alternatively, transfer half of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.

Step 8

Stir in the coconut milk and nutritional yeast. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the crispy bacon crumbles and optional chopped parsley for garnish. Serve hot and enjoy!
