  • Prep: 15 mins
  • Cook: 30 mins

Ingredients

3-4 slices of bacon

1/2 sweet onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

3 pound potatoes, scrubbed, peeled, and quartered (I like to use red potatoes, but white potatoes work great too)

1 tablespoon arrowroot starch (optional if you need to thicken the soup up)

4 cups chicken broth

1 1/2 cups coconut milk (don’t worry, it won’t taste like coconut)

Salt and pepper

Toppings of choice: green onions, fresh basil, fresh pico, shredded cheese or sour cream if you tolerate dairy

Directions

1Cook bacon in a large saucepan and then remove the pieces onto paper towels to remove extra grease.

2Saute onions in bacon grease for up to 5 minutes until they are translucent.
