Instructions

  1. In a large pot, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the fat in the pot.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, stirring often to prevent browning.
  3. Add the diced potatoes and broth; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency, either smooth or slightly chunky.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper; adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Serve hot topped with crispy bacon and garnished with chives or parsley if desired.

Notes

  1. For a vegetarian version, replace bacon with smoked tempeh or mushrooms, and use olive oil or butter instead of bacon fat. Consider using coconut or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
