- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 bay leaf

Instructions
- Prepare the base: Melt the vegan butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat to create a flavorful foundation for the soup.

- Add potatoes and liquids: Add the bite-sized Yukon Gold potatoes, soy milk, vegetable broth, and the bay leaf to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Simmer the soup: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
- Finish seasoning: Remove the bay leaf from the soup, then stir in chopped parsley and black pepper to taste for freshness and a hint of spice.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and optionally top with tempeh bacon for added flavor and texture. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Using Yukon Gold potatoes adds a creamy texture without needing heavy cream.
- Tempeh bacon is optional for a smoky, crunchy addition and extra protein.
- For a thicker soup, blend a portion of the cooked potatoes before adding parsley and seasonings.
- You can substitute soy milk with other plant-based milks like oat or almond milk.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on your dietary preferences.
