Preparation
Step 1
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, salt, and several grinds of pepper. Sauté 6 to 8 minutes, until softened.
Step 2
Add the garlic, stir, and cook 2 more minutes. Stir in the white wine vinegar and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds, and then add the broth, potatoes, and white beans. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer 30 minutes.
Step 3
Let cool slightly, then transfer half of the soup to a blender with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the mustard, lemon juice, and paprika. Blend until smooth and return the pureed soup back to the pot.
Step 4
Use a potato masher to gently smash the potato chunks and beans. Season to taste with more salt and pepper and serve with desired toppings.

Chef's notes
This ultra creamy potato soup recipe is my favorite healthy comfort food! To make it extra comforting, I top mine with Greek yogurt, chives, and coconut bacon.
For a velvety texture, puree half the soup and gently smash the remaining diced potatoes and beans.
