Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
Broth and Cheese
  • 2 cups broth (vegetable or chicken)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (like cheddar or blend)
Toppings and Extras
  • 6 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt, pepper, and seasonings to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat it over medium heat.
  2. Sauté the chopped onions, carrots, celery, and minced garlic until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Toss in the cauliflower florets and pour the broth over the top.
  2. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the cauliflower is tender, about 10–15 minutes.
  3. Using an immersion blender (or transferring to a regular blender in batches), blend the soup until it’s completely smooth.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheese, allowing it to melt into the warm mixture.
Finishing Touch
  1. In a small pan, melt the butter and mix in the breadcrumbs until they’re nicely coated.
  2. Top each bowl of soup with crispy bacon and the buttered breadcrumbs before serving.
