This unique potato soup is an “appetizer” recipe entry in the So Delicious Dairy Free 3-Course Recipe Contest, submitted by reader Hidemi Walsh. To compliment the curry flavor with richness, Hidemi purees the potato soup base and adds Almond Plus AlmondMilk from So Delicious.
Bacon provides the salt and depth of flavor in this creamy, no broth potato soup.

Special Diet Notes & Options: Curry Bacon & Potato Soup
This recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, gluten-free, peanut-free, and soy-free.
For vegan and vegetarian, some brands of vegan “bacon” may provide a good alternative, provided that they aren’t heavy in gluten.
For tree nut-free and dairy-free potato soup, So Delicious Dairy Free also offers Coconut Milk Beverage that you can use in place of the AlmondMilk. The coconut unsweetened variety will also meld nicely with the curry base.
