I've been working on this potato soup for years, and I'm finally happy enough with it to share. Just tonight, I served it to a friend who claimed not to like potatoes. He liked it! Specific brands for making this egg-, dairy-, and soy-free are included. A good potato soup does not need cream or milk!

Steps:
- Combine margarine, celery, onion, potatoes, and garlic in a stock pot (5 qt size works well).
- Saute vegetables for 10 minutes.
- Add chicken base, water, and spices.
- Bring to a boil and reduce heat.
- Boil 30 minutes, until potatoes are soft.
- Cook 10 strips bacon to crisp (precooked bacon in the microwave does just fine). Add to soup.
- Use a standing blender or stick blender to blend soup to a creamy consistency. You may need to allow the soup to cool before transferring to an upright blender, and blend in batches. Stir the final soup well.
- We love this consistency, but if you wish to thicken the soup, potato flakes may be added. It could be thinned with a broth or milk product.
