Ingredients
- 6 slices Bacon chopped
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups half and half
- 1 head cauliflower chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Dash cayenne pepper optional
- 3 tablespoons chopped green onions
Instructions
- In a dutch oven over medium heat, add bacon and cook until browned and crispy, about 7 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels; set aside.
- In the remaining bacon drippings, cook the onion, carrots and celery, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in cauliflower. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually stir in chicken broth and milk, and heat, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 3 or 4 minutes.
- Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until the cauliflower for about 12-15 minutes until cauliflower is tender; add salt and pepper and cayenne (if desired). You may have to add more milk if the chowder gets too thick.
- Serve immediately, garnished with bacon and green onions, or any of your favorite toppings.
