Bacon isn’t something we have very often in our house but my son and hubby and son love it. So I figured this would be a good way to get cauliflower and vegetable broth into my son.
Gluten, egg and nut free
Serves 4-6 people
Prep time: 7 mins
Cooking time: 25 mins
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 large head of cauliflower
- 300g middle bacon, cut into strips
- 1 brown onion, finely diced
- 1-2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1L vegetable or chicken stock (I use my home made broths)
- ½ Cup water
- 100ml cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ Tbs. coconut or extra virgin olive oil
METHOD:
- Heat a large saucepan on high heat and add the oil. Make sure the oil is heated and then add the diced bacon. Cook the bacon, stirring occasionally until crispy.
- Reduce the heat to medium-high and remove half of the bacon from the pan and onto a clean plate.
- Add the onion into the pan and cook, stirring for 2-3 minutes or until the onion is soft. Now add the garlic and cauliflower and cook for 2 minutes making sure the cauliflower is coated in the oil.
- Pour in the stock and give it all a good stir ensuring that you scrape the bottom of the pan to get all the flavour off.
- Put the lid on the saucepan and allow it to come to the boil. You may need to reduce the heat to medium-low to gently boil or even simmer the cauliflower. Simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the cauliflower is nice and soft.
- Use a stick blender to gently blend the soup. I don’t blend mine too much because I like a few lumps and bumps.
- Serve into bowls and top each dish with the bacon that was set aside and a little chopped parsley. My kids like some good quality wholemeal sourdough with avocado instead of butter with theirs.
