DF/GF Creamy Potato & Bacon Soup


DF = dairy-free
GF = gluten-free

Ingredients:

1 lb (ish) bacon, chopped, grease reserved
8 potatoes, chopped 1/2 - 1 inch (whatever your preference is)
1 cooking onion, chopped fine
generous dash Celery Seed
1 cup UNSWEETENED Coconut Milk (So Delicious brand has no coconut flavor!)
5 cups Chicken Broth

Directions:

Boil potatoes in salted water, drain (see note, below)

Fry bacon,
Pour 4-5 Tbs bacon grease into Dutch Oven over med heat
Add onion, cook for 5 min or so, reduce heat
Add celery seed cook for another min
Whisk in 4-5 Tbs gluten-free flour. Whisk until smooth
Pour in Coconut Milk (this will cause it to thicken rapidly)
Immediately Stir in Chicken Broth, stirring until smooth

Add chopped bacon and cooked potatoes

Enjoy!

Note: I'm sure you could cook the potatoes in the soup, but I'm leaving the house and will be putting the soup in the Crock Pot on warm for a couple hours before dinner, so I cooked them separately to make sure they were thoroughly cooked before adding to the soup and heading out.
