Sommer's Loaded Potato Soup Dairy Free
I was inspired by another potato soup recipe that i recently made in a tag game i was participating in and that recipe became a huge favorite for me, so i decided i wanted to create a potato soup of my own. i had various ingredients hanging out in the pantry and fridge that needed serious rescue from the trash, so i started inventing this soup and imho it turned out absolutely excellent; rich, creamy, flavorful, simple, and comforting. the dairy-free part is due to my dietary needs. i have ibs and dairy products are very unfriendly to my gi tract. if you do substitute with the real mccoy on the non-dairy items, it may or may not affect the final product. please add any additional seasonings you feel are necessary. i am posting this recipe exactly as i created it with the precise ingredients i used and measurements, too. i did have to approximate the serving size, because i ate this on its own and all by myself. i'm very proud of my creation and would appreciate any feedback if
Steps
Regarding the cooking method of the white onions and yellow pepper.
I purposely cooked them down , but if you would rather you can add the white onions and yellow pepper a bit later , but before the bacon is finished cooking.
I wanted to infuse the flavors of the three in the skillet.
In a skillet fry up the chopped bacon , adding in the chopped white onion and chopped yellow pepper at the same time.
Add the chopped and peeled potatoes to 2 cups of water and bring to a boil.
Cover and turn heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
When bacon is crisp and onion and pepper are translucent , drain on paper towels.
When potatoes are tender , add 4 slotted spoonfuls of potatoes into a blender.
Add 1 / 3 cup non-dairy milk and 1 / 3 cup of the potato water.
Blend potatoes and liquid until smooth.
Drain potatoes left in the pan , but reserve the potato water and set aside.
Add blended potatoes back into pan with remaining un-blended potatoes.
Add to the pan 1 / 3 cup non-dairy shre.
