Creamy Cauliflower Soup
INGREDIENTS
- 4 slices bacon diced
- ½ yellow onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 4 tablespoons unsalted grass fed butter or ghee
- 1/4 cup gluten free 1:1 baking flour
- 4 cups almond milk or more, as needed
- 3 medium russet potatoes peeled and cubed
- 1 head cauliflower chopped (or 2 if omitting potatoes)
- 4 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- To serve: 1/2 cup sour cream shredded cheese, green onion, crumbled bacon
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.
- Leaving the bacon grease in the pan, add the onion and cook until fragrant, about 4 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add 4 tablespoons unsalted grass-fed butter or ghee to the onion and garlic over medium-high heat and stir to melt. Whisk in flour until lightly browned and thickened into a paste, about 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in the almond milk and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in potatoes, cauliflower, green onion, salt and pepper.
- Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until potatoes and cauliflower are fork tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Once tender, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth.
- If you don’t have an immersion blender, transfer the softened potatoes and cauliflower with about a cup of cooking liquid to a high powered blender and blend on high until smooth. Transfer back to stock pot.
- If the soup is too thick, add more almond milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.
- Serve immediately, garnished with green onion, cheese, sour cream, or reserved crumbled bacon, if desired.
