Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 Brown / Yellow Onion, diced
500 mls / 2 cups Chicken or Vegetable stock, or more, if required
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt + Pepper, to taste
1/4 cup Heavy Cream / Cooking Cream

CREAMY CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH BACON



Creamy Cauliflower Soup with Bacon image

You will never miss the calorie-laden cream in this fresh take on a favorite winter soup. Substituting a potato for the usual half-and-half or heavy cream gives this rich, full-bodied cauliflower soup a velvety texture without adding more fat. Go ahead and add the cauliflower stem to the pot - it has great flavor and will be blended along with the florets. Serve with a tossed salad or your favorite hearty sandwich. If you want to make this recipe completely dairy free, replace the butter with olive oil.

Time 40m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (from 1 medium onion)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
3 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 Tbsp.)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups unsalted chicken stock
1 (12-oz.) russet potato, peeled and diced
1 pound fresh cauliflower florets (from 1 medium head)
Pinch of cayenne pepper
4 thick-cut bacon slices (about 6 oz.), cooked and crumbled
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium. Add onion, thyme, salt, and garlic. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is very soft and slightly caramelized, 10 to 12 minutes. Add flour to Dutch oven, and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Add stock and potato. Increase heat to high, cover, and bring to a boil. Add cauliflower, and reduce heat to medium. Cook, uncovered, until cauliflower is tender, about 20 minutes.

CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER SOUP



Cream of Cauliflower Soup image

This is a wonderful fall or winter comfort food. The recipe can use either cauliflower or broccoli. UPDATE: I need to mention that I usually reserve some of the cauliflower pieces on the side before I blend, so I get a mixture of creaminess as well as some chunky pieces as an end result. You may want to try this.
