Safe while still anxious

Potato Soup
There are so many different varieties of potatoes.  Try not to use the white ones. Select different colors of potatoes, which have more nutrients in them.

4-5 slices vegan bacon cooked, crumbled and set aside
1 large onion, caramelized and set aside
3 carrots, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
4 potatoes, skinned and diced
6 cups vegetable broth
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup soy milk

After cooking the bacon and then the onion, toss the rest of the vegetables in the pan and cook until just browned.  Add all of the vegetables, including the onions, to the vegetable broth and bring to a boil until soft.  Remove half of the vegetables and broth and puree in a food processor. Return the processed liquid to the soup and stir well.  Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.  Gently heat up and add soy milk a small amount at a time until desired consistency.  Sprinkle the bacon on top and serve!



     "So I am praying while not knowing how to pray.  I am resting 
      while feeling restless, at peace while tempted, safe while still 
      anxious, surrounded by a cloud of light while still in darkness, 
      in love while still doubting."
                          - Henri Nouwen
