2 pounds of russet potatoes about 6 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
½ large yellow onion diced, about 1 cup
4 strips of bacon
3 cups of vegetable broth
Optional: salt & pepper cheese, and sour cream

Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Gently add in your potatoes. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they are very tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, add bacon to a large skillet over medium heat. Remove it from the pan once it's become extra crispy. Keep 1-2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the pan. Drain any extra.
Add in onions and cook until they brown slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Stir them occasionally, so they don’t burn. Set them aside till the potatoes are done cooking.
Drain water from the potatoes. Add 3 cups of vegetable broth, the onions, and any leftover bacon grease. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth. If you don’t have a blender, you can use a potato masher, but the soup will not be as smooth.
Salt and pepper to taste. Top with additional optional toppings and chopped bacon.
