Cauliflower Soup with Bacon

recipe

• Step 1
  Wash the cauliflower. Remove the stem & leaves. Reserve a slice of cauliflower for garnish. Roughly chop the rest of the cauliflower. Peel & mince the onion & garlic.
• Step 2
  Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion & garlic. Cook, stirring for 2 min. Add the cauliflower. Cook for 5 min, stirring occasionally.
• Step 3
  Add just enough water to the pot to cover the veggies. Season with salt & pepper. Reduce the heat to low. Cover & simmer for 10 min.
• Step 4
  Meanwhile, fry the bacon in a dry pan until cooked to your liking.
• Step 5
  Remove the veggies from the heat. Add the parmesan to the pot. Use an immersion blender or blender to purée until smooth & creamy. Add a splash of water if too thick & blend again!
