Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, celery, and carrots. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the diced potatoes, vegetable broth, thyme, and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the milk and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt to taste. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup to a creamy texture, or leave it chunky if preferred.
Ladle the soup into bowls. Serve hot, optionally garnished with crumbled turkey bacon and chopped chives.
