Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 large onion, chopped

- Green onions, chopped for garnish
- Bacon bits or vegan bacon optional, for topping
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large pot, sauté the chopped onion until translucent.
- Add the diced potatoes and vegetable broth, bringing it to a boil.
- Reduce heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Stir in coconut milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth, or leave it chunky based on your preference.

Notes
For a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper. If you want more texture, leave some potato chunks unblended. Make it a full meal by adding cooked vegetables like broccoli or corn.
