  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place vegetarian bacon strips in the skillet without overlapping. Cook over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Let sit until cool enough to handle, then dice and set aside.
  • Combine potatoes, water, 1 cup milk, cream, and vegetable bouillon in a pot. Bring to a simmering boil. Add cooked "bacon," celery, and carrot. Stir in parsley, Worcestershire, thyme, garlic powder, dry mustard, salt, red wine, and pepper.
  • Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in the pan until golden, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in flour and mix well. Stir in remaining 1/3 cup milk slowly until well mixed. Pour into potato mixture and stir well.
  • Cook until soup is thick and potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
