Potato Soup (Dairy and Soy Free!) image

I've been working on this potato soup for years, and I'm finally happy enough with it to share. Just tonight, I served it to a friend who claimed not to like potatoes. He liked it! Specific brands for making this egg-, dairy-, and soy-free are included. A good potato soup does not need cream or milk!

Time 1h

Yield 3 quarts, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup margarine (Earth Balance Soy Free)
1 1/2 cups celery, diced
2 cups onions, diced
8 cups potatoes, diced (skin on is fine!)
3 large cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon chicken base, paste (Better Than Bouillon Organic)
6 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
1 tablespoon dried chives
pepper
10 slices bacon

Steps:

  • Combine margarine, celery, onion, potatoes, and garlic in a stock pot (5 qt size works well).
  • Saute vegetables for 10 minutes.
  • Add chicken base, water, and spices.
  • Bring to a boil and reduce heat.
  • Boil 30 minutes, until potatoes are soft.
  • Cook 10 strips bacon to crisp (precooked bacon in the microwave does just fine). Add to soup.
  • Use a standing blender or stick blender to blend soup to a creamy consistency. You may need to allow the soup to cool before transferring to an upright blender, and blend in batches. Stir the final soup well.
  • We love this consistency, but if you wish to thicken the soup, potato flakes may be added. It could be thinned with a broth or milk product.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it palatable.
