Best 3 Cauliflower Bacon Prosciutto Cheese Soup Recipes

CAULIFLOWER BACON PROSCIUTTO CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Remove and discard the core of the cauliflower. In a dutch oven or soup pot simmer the cauliflower florets in the chicken broth for 10 to 15 minutes until tender. Set aside.
• 2. Bake the package of center cut bacon in the oven. Directions are on the package. I was too lazy to fry all of that bacon. When done set the bacon aside.
• 3. After the bacon cools crumble or use a kitchen scissors to cut the bacon up.
• 4. Fry the onions and celery in butter until they become translucent and set aside.
• 5. Using a stick blender mash the cauliflower and chicken broth into a puree.
• 6. To the cauliflower puree add the cheese and stir until blended.
• 7. Add 8 ounces of almond and coconut milk. You can use cream, half and half, or milk if you wish.
• 8. Add the bacon, prosciutto, onions, and celery to the pot and stir. Salt and Pepper to taste. ENJOY

BACON-CHEDDAR CAULIFLOWER CHOWDER

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a large skillet and over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon, leaving bacon grease in the skillet. Crumble bacon when cool to the touch.
• Add celery and garlic to the skillet and cook in the bacon grease until celery is tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cauliflower, water, and onion powder; cover skillet to steam cauliflower. Cook, stirring every so often, until cauliflower is tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add milk, 1 3/4 cups chicken broth, and hot sauce. Bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, whisk flour into the remaining chicken broth in a small bowl and drizzle into the boiling chowder. Add Cheddar cheese and 1/2 of the crumbled bacon. Stir until smooth and cheese has melted.
• Season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Ladle into bowls and top with remaining bacon.

CAULIFLOWER SOUP WITH CRISPY PROSCIUTTO AND PARMESAN

• Melt the butter in a big soup pot, set over med-high heat.
• Add in leeks; saute/stirring, until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
• Add in cauliflower florets, chicken stock, and cayenne pepper; bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally; then reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cover pot.
• Cook until vegetables are very tender, about 20 minutes.
• Puree the soup in batches in a food processor, blender, or food mill, and return soup to pot (or use an immersion blender to puree the soup in the pot).
• Whisk in 1/2 cup of the cheese and the creme fraiche; taste the soup and season with salt if needed (the soup can be made 2 days ahead; cool, cover, and refrigerate; reheat over medium heat).
• Cut the prosciutto into julienne strips 3-4 inches long and 1/4 inch wide.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat; when hot, add the prosciutto, saute/stir occasionally, until crisp and browned, for 4-5 minutes.
