Instructions
Start by washing your cauliflower thoroughly. Cut it into small florets. This will help it cook evenly and blend smoothly later. Chop your green onions and bacon into bite-sized pieces.
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the bacon pieces first and let them cook until they become crispy. Remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot. Add the chopped onions and cook until they’re translucent, about 2–3 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and continue cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Add the cauliflower florets to the pot followed by the broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it reaches your desired consistency.
Stir in the heavy cream and sprinkle in cheddar cheese for flavor. Let it warm through for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with crispy bacon and green onions.
