Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 medium Russet Potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 6 slices Smoked Turkey Bacon, chopped
  • 1 large Yellow Onion, diced
  • 3 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 4 cups Vegetable Broth
  • 1 cup Plant-Based Cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Natural Gelling Agent
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Thyme leaves
  • Extra smoked turkey bacon pieces for garnish
  • Chopped fresh chives or thyme for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Sauté the diced yellow onion and minced garlic in a large pot over medium heat until translucent and fragrant. Add the chopped smoked turkey bacon and cook until crisp and its flavorful fat is released.
  2. Add Potatoes and Broth: Add the peeled and diced russet potatoes to the pot. Pour in enough vegetable broth to cover the potatoes completely, then bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender and ready to mash.
  3. Blend for Creaminess: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or leave some chunks if you prefer a rustic texture.
  4. Incorporate Cheese and Flavorings: Stir in the shredded plant-based cheese and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Add the natural gelling agent and season with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme if using. Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors.
  5. Simmer and Serve: Let the soup simmer gently for another 5 to 10 minutes so the flavors meld perfectly. Serve piping hot, garnished with extra smoked turkey bacon, plant-based cheese, and fresh herbs as desired.

Notes

  • Use Russet potatoes for the best creamy texture.
  • Cook smoked turkey bacon separately for maximum crispiness.
  • Adjust the amount of broth or natural gelling agent to achieve your preferred soup thickness.
  • Fresh thyme adds brightness and enhances flavor.
  • Blend lightly if you prefer chunkier texture for added character.
