Ingredients
  • ¼ Lb sugar free bacon, diced
  • ½ Tbs ghee
  • 2 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • Small package shitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 Lb cremini/button/baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 Yukon gold potato, small diced (it's to help thicken the soup)
  • 8 sprigs fresh thyme
  • ½ Tsp salt
  • ¼ Tsp pepper
  • 1½ cups of vegetable stock
  • ½ cup of full fat, unsweetened coconut milk
Instructions
  1. Heat a high sided pot to medium heat and then add the bacon and cook it, stirring frequently until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside on a paper towel lined plate. Be sure to leave the rendered bacon fat in the pan!
  2. Keeping the pan at medium heat, add the ghee, garlic, onions, mushrooms, potato, thyme, salt and pepper and saute until the mushrooms release most of their liquid (about 10-12 minutes)
  3. Add the stock and coconut milk, stir until combined.
  4. Blend the contents of the pot with an immersion blender, standard blender or food processor until smooth.
  5. Spoon into bowls and top with the reserved bacon bits.
Notes
If you like your soup a bit thinner, add more stock/water! If you like it more creamy, add more coconut milk!
