Creamy Cauliflower and Bacon Soup image

"This is such a rich dish, you don't need to serve a lot with it. For a simple garnish instead of the bacon, I add a drop of hot sauce to the top and drag a butter knife through it." Mildred Caruso - Brighton, Tennessee

This soup was way too salty for me. I would recommend using less salt or omitting it altogether.
