Steps:
- Heat large pot or dutch oven on medium heat, then add bacon to the pan and cook for a few minutes, stirring regularly, until bacon is crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Leave the bacon grease in the pot.
- Add onion and garlic and sauté until onion is soft and translucent.
- Add potato, cauliflower and stock to the pot. Cover pot partially, bring to boil then turn down to simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables are cooked.
- Add 3/4 of the bacon bits to the pot (reserving the rest for serving). Puree the soup using either a stick blender or food processor and process until smooth.
- Return soup to pot and place on medium heat. If the soup is too thick, add some more stock. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until soup is heated through.
- Remove from heat, season the soup to taste salt and mix cream through.
- Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining bacon bits, some sprinkled black pepper, shredded cheese and crusty bread, if desired.

CREAMY CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH BACON
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.

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.
- Transfer cauliflower mixture to a blender; add cayenne. Secure lid on blender, and remove center piece to allow steam to escape. Place a clean towel over opening, and process until smooth, about 1 minute. Ladle soup into bowls. Top with bacon and chives.

CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER SOUP
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.

"This is such a rich dish, you don't need to serve a lot with it. For a simple garnish instead of the bacon, I add a drop of hot sauce to the top and drag a butter knife through it." Mildred Caruso - Brighton, Tennessee
