Ingredients

• 6 slices bacon
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large, diced onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 chopped celery stalks
• 2 large, peeled and diced carrots
• 3 large, peeled and cubed russet potatoes
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup, chopped chives
• 0 optional garnishes - green onions
• 0 sliced optional garnishes - avocado

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon, crumble it, and set aside. Leave about 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings in the pot.

Step 2

Add the olive oil to the pot with the bacon drippings over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the celery and carrots to the pot, stirring occasionally, and cook for another 5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the cubed potatoes and pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are soft, use an immersion blender to puree the soup in the pot until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer small batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.

Step 6

Stir in the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Before serving, stir in the crumbled bacon and chopped chives.

Step 8

Serve hot with optional garnishes like green onions or sliced avocado for extra flavor and texture.
