Creamy Baked Potato Soup (Vegan)

Baked potato soup was one of my favs in my pre-veggie days.  This version is delicious in it's own right, with or without meat and dairy substitutes.

Ingredients/Tools

3 cloves garlic
1 or 2 Tbs of flour if needed
1 Tbs Olive oil

    I wouldn't even bother to try to come up with a better one than this:

The whole thing only consists of a few quick and super-easy steps.
  • Peel and dice potatoes
  • Boil potatoes in veggie broth
While potatoes are boiling...
  • Dice onions
  • Mince garlic
  • Saute both in olive oil
  • Prep garnishes - chop scallions, dice "cheese" and fry "bacon"
Once potatoes are soft, add the onions and garlic to the saucepan

Blend

Break out the immersion blender and while mixing...
  • Pour in almond milk
  • Add salt and pepper
  • If soup is too thin, add a teaspoon of flour at a time until desired viscosity is achieved
All that is left is to garnish with the fake cheese, not-really bacon and actual scallions.

If you are not big on the processed foods, this totally works without them...but you may want top off with broccoli or other veggie and up the salt a bit.
