Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 slices Bacon cut into ½ peices
  • 1 small yellow onion chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic crushed
  • 24 ounces Russet or yukon potatoes peeled and cut into 1" cubes
  • 4 cups Chicken or Bone Broth
  • 1 crown Cauliflower cut into florets, discard leaves and stem
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup 2% Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese Shredded

TOPPINGS

  • Chives diced
  • Additional shredded cheese

Instructions

  • COOK THE BACON: Preheat a large dutch oven over medium-high. Add bacon pieces, stirring frequently until pieces have become crispy. Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon from pan to cool on a paper towel.
  • SAUTÉ ONION AND GARLIC: Add the onion to bacon drippings and cook 3-4 minutes on medium heat until the onions soften and become translucent, add the garlic and stir for 60 seconds.
  • DEGLAZE AND COOK THE VEGGIES: Add broth to deglaze the pot and use a spoon to stir and scrape up any brown bits at the bottom of the pan. Stir in the cauliflower and potatoes along with ½ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Bring the broth to a boil and then reduce to a heavy simmer and cover for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes and cauliflower are fork-tender.
  • PUREE: Remove the pot from the heat.  Use an immersion blender to purée the mixture for 3-5 minutes or until completely smooth.  Add the yogurt and cheese; stir until they have melted and soup is creamy and smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • SERVE: Garnish soup with bacon pieces, chives, and extra cheese.

Notes

  • MAKE IT WHOLE30: Use coconut cream or milk instead of yogurt and omit cheddar cheese
  • IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN IMMERSION BLENDER: Use a blender instead of the emersion blender, however you may have to puree the mixture in batches depending on how large your blender capacity is.
