  • Heat oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium heat. Add plant-based bacon and cook until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion, carrots, and celery and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 3 tablespoons flour and cook, stirring continuously, until lumps are dissolved. Stir in potatoes, thyme, and pepper. Add broth and bay leaves. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • While the soup is cooking, melt vegan butter in a skillet over low heat. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon flour and cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add milk. Cook, stirring constantly, over low to medium-low heat until mixture thickens to a cream-like consistency.
  • When the soup has finished cooking, pour in the vegan cream and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in parsley and chives and serve.
