Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 stalks celery
- 1 medium onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups cheddar cheese
- 4 slices bacon slices
- 2 stalks scallions
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by cutting the cauliflower into florets, discarding the core, and set aside.
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Chop the celery and onion finely. Mince the garlic cloves.
Add the chopped celery and onion to the pot, sautéing for about 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the cauliflower florets and chicken broth to the pot. Increase the heat to bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.
While the soup simmers, cook the bacon until crispy in a separate pan over medium heat. Once cooked, crumble the bacon and set aside.
Once the cauliflower is tender, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend to your desired consistency.
Stir in the heavy cream, cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper until the cheese is melted and well incorporated.
Adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with crumbled bacon and chopped scallions on top.
