Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small shallot or onion
  • ½ cup chopped celery (100 grams)
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 3 cups vegetable broth (708 grams)
  • 1 medium head cauliflower (cleaned and separated into florets) (600 grams)
  • salt & pepper*
  • ¼ cup whole / heavy cream (63 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 6 slices thinly sliced bacon or pancetta chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium/large pot add the butter, chopped shallot, celery and garlic. Cook on low / medium heat stirring often for about 2 minutes.
  2. Then add the broth, cauliflower and salt and pepper if using. Over medium/high heat bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 25 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender. Remove 3 florets, drain on a paper towel then chop and set aside.
  3. Blend the remaining ingredients in the pot until smooth (either in a blender or directly in the pot with a hand blender). Place the pot back on medium heat, add the cream and parmesan cheese and heat until hot. Serve immediately sprinkled with fresh chopped parsley, some chopped cauliflower and chopped bacon or pancetta. Enjoy!
  4. In a frying pan fry the chopped bacon or pancetta until crisp, drain on a paper towel.

Notes

  • Adding the salt depends on if you use homemade broth or store bought. I find store bought very salty so no need to add extra.

  • Any leftover soup should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. It will last up to four days in the fridge.
  • Freezing soups with cream or milk in them is not a good idea, because the soup can become grainy and separate when thawed. Best to make small batches and eat immediately.
