KETO LOADED "BAKED POTATO" SOUP

Steps:

• Place a large baking sheet in the center rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower and radishes with the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and spread the vegetables on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast until the vegetables are tender and caramelized in spots, stirring once or twice, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Place the bacon in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and golden, 10 to 13 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a small dish. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon bacon fat. Add the onion and celery to the pan, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the broth, add the roasted vegetables and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, partially cover and simmer to allow the flavors to meld, about 20 minutes.
• Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender. Add the butter and 3/4 cup cheese and blend, being careful of hot liquid, until smooth. Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce if desired. Return the soup to the pan to rewarm if needed.
