Loaded Potato & Cauliflower Soup
Loaded Potato and Cauliflower Soup has everything you love about loaded potato soup - it's creamy, full of smoky bacon, and cheese - but is lightened up with the use of cauliflower!
Servings 12 cups
Calories 64kcal
Ingredients
- 4 large slices thick-cut bacon
- 2 onions chopped (about 2 cups)
- 2 large potatoes peeled & chopped into small pieces (about 5 cups)
- 1 medium head of cauliflower cut into small pieces (about 6 cups)
- 8 cups chicken stock
- salt & pepper
- Optional toppings: sour cream grated cheese, and chopped chives
Instructions
- Heat a large soup pot over medium low heat. Add the bacon slices flat into the pot and cook, turning a couple times, until crispy and most of the fat has drained from the bacon. This will take 8-12 minutes. Once crisp, use tongs to move the bacon to a paper towel lined plate.
- To the pot with bacon fat, all the chopped onions, 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent. About 10-12 minutes.
- Add in the chopped potatoes, cauliflower, and chicken stock. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to a strong simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork tender. About 15-20 minutes.
- Puree the soup using either a blender in batches (that's what I did), or an immersion blender.
- Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
- Scoop into a bowl and garnish with crumbled bacon, cheese, sour cream, chives.
Notes
Cut potatoes into approximately 1/2 pieces & cauliflower into small florets.
