Roasted & Loaded Cauliflower Soup

February 24, 2014

Even in Texas, these winter cold snaps are brutal! Which leads me to want something warm and comforting from the kitchen. After scrounging around and checking out my options, I whipped up this Roasted Cauliflower Soup, featuring garlic roasted cauliflower, bacon and smoked gouda. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but this is good. I seriously couldn't stop "tasting it" to make sure the flavors were all there.

Bacon, 4 cooked strips
One head cauliflower
Garlic, 2 cloves
Chicken broth, 1/2 can
Smoked Gouda, 4 ounces
Salt and pepper, to taste
Heavy Whipping Cream or Milk, to desired consistency

I started by pan-frying my bacon until it was nice and crispy. None of that turkey-bacon garbage :P Typically I cook my bacon in the oven, but I wanted the leftover bacon grease to use for my pan-fried...
