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.

Notes

To make this recipe low carb: use 2 heads of cauliflower in place of the potatoes.
