Cook bacon until crispy, set aside on paper towels. Add onions, cook until almost translucent. Add garlic & cook for 1-2 minutes. Add flour and cook until it is all incorporated.

Add heavy cream and seasoning. Mix. Add veggie broth. Let come to a boil then turn down heat.

Add in potatoes and cream cheese. Add more black pepper. You can use a potato masher or fork to break down potatoes, keep stirring and let cook on low or medium low until reached desired consistency. Once you’re ready to eat: top with your favorite toppings. My family enjoys bacon pieces we cooked at the beginning, cheddar cheese & green onion.
