Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 leeks, chopped (white and light green parts only)
3 large cloves garlic, crushed
1 large shallot, chopped
1 head cauliflower, separated into florets
1 carton (32 oz) Progresso™ reduced-sodium chicken broth (4 cups)
1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence
4 slices bacon, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

  • Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels; set aside.
  • Remove soup from heat; using blender or handheld immersion blender, puree soup until smooth. If using regular blender, return soup to saucepan. If using immersion blender, return saucepan to heat. Add salt, pepper and butter. Cook over low heat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted and soup is hot.
