- To make the potato cream base, in a medium heavy-bottomed pot, combine potatoes, soy milk, cashews (if using), bay leaves, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally so potatoes do not stick to the bottom of the pot. Remove bay leaves, pour mixture into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Meanwhile, in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add diced onions, garlic, pepper and salt, then cover and sweat onions until they become translucent, about 10 minutes. Add celery and celery seed and sweat celery until it becomes translucent.
- Add bacon and cook for 1 minute.
- Deglaze pan with sherry wine and cook to reduce liquid by half.
- Add diced potatoes and vegetable stock and stir well. Cover pot, reduce heat to low, and cook until potatoes are just starting to soften.
- Pour potato cream into pot and stir well. Simmer until diced potatoes are tender.
- Add plant-based tuna and stir well to incorporate.
- Simmer for 1-2 minutes to heat through and let flavors meld.
- Serve in warm bowls with oyster crackers and a small pat of butter, if desired.
