Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Large Heads Cauliflower or Bagged Cauliflower Florets
- 10 Slices Bacon
- 4 Cups Chicken Broth
- 2.5 Cups Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- ½ Stick Butter
- 6 ounces Cream Cheese
- ½ Chopped Yellow Onion or 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
- 3 Garlic Cloves
- 1/2 Teaspoon White Pepper (optional)
- 1 Teaspoon Hot Sauce (Optional)
Ingredients To Roast Cauliflower
- ¼ Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 5 Garlic Cloves – Chopped
- ¼ Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
- 2 Teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 2 Teaspoons Thyme
Instructions
- First Step: We’re roasting the cauliflower. Now, you can go with bagged florets to save time or use full heads. You’ll need to core those and chop it into florets. You can use a food processor for this step – be careful not to rice it.
- Second Step: Combine Olive oil, garlic cloves, salt, pepper (or crushed red pepper) and thyme. Add this to the cauliflower in a bowl or toss it over the florets on a foil-lined baking pan to save yourself the extra clean up.
- Third: Bake it for 25-30 minutes at 400. You can flip it midway, but you do not have to.
- Fourth: Fry bacon and chop the onion. Don’t throw out the bacon grease – you’ll use it to saute the onion and garlic for around 2-3 minutes.
- Fifth: Add everything except the cream cheese, cheddar, and heavy cream to the crockpot or the stovetop:
- On the stove, we will bring it to a boil and then let it simmer for about 25 minutes.
- In the slow cooker, we will give it a little more time – 4-6 hours.
- Sixth: Whip out our immersion blender and puree the cauliflower to make the soup extra creamy. If you don’t have one, you can use your blender.
- Final step: Add in the heavy cream, cream cheese and 2 cups of the cheddar. Top with remaining cheddar, bacon, and scallions.
