    Baked Fauxtato Soup (low carb)


    Source of Recipe


    gijane

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 head Cauliflower
    Chicken Broth to cover
    1 clove garlic, sliced
    3 oz Cream Cheese
    1 Tablespoon Butter
    5 strips bacon, fried crisp
    1/2 medium onion, chopped
    Dash of hot sauce (optional)
    2 1-inch squares Sharp Cheddar Cheese

    Recipe



    Place the flowerets and sliced garlic in a medium saucepan - add chicken broth to cover. Boil until completely tender (15 minutes or so). While the cauliflower is cooking, fry the bacon crisp, and remove to a plate. In the bacon fat, saute the onion until tender. Using a slotted spoon, put the cauliflower and garlic in the food processor, reserving the broth in the saucepan. Add the cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, and butter. Process until smooth. The mixture will be a light pumpkin colour. Return this mixture to the saucepan with the cooking liquid. Add the onions (I capture some of the fat with the onions - that's just me) and stir over medium heat. You might need to add some more chicken stock to the pan, depending upon how much liquid cooked out during the cooking. I look for a good soupy consistency but not thin. Crumble the bacon into the soup, and allow the soup to come to a simmer. Taste and add salt and pepper. I like a lot of fresh cracked pepper in this soup.
