Keto cauliflower and bacon soup is a delicious and nutritious dish perfect for those following a low-carb diet. This creamy, flavorful soup combines the subtle sweetness of cauliflower with the rich taste of bacon and parmesan cheese, creating a satisfying meal that's easy to prepare and full of flavor.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the shallots.
- Break the cauliflower into small florets.
- Cut the bacon strips into small pieces.
- In a large pot, cook the bacon pieces over medium heat until they become crispy, about 8-10 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the crispy bacon and place it on a paper towel to drain. Leave the bacon fat in the pot.
- Add the butter to the pot with the bacon fat. Once the butter has melted, add the chopped shallots.
- Sauté the shallots over medium heat until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cauliflower florets to the pot with the sautéed shallots. Stir well to combine.
- Pour in the chicken gravy and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it is smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender and blend in batches, then return the soup to the pot.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is fully melted and incorporated into the soup.
- Add about half of the crispy bacon pieces to the soup, stirring to combine.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with the remaining crispy bacon pieces.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs for added flavor.
- Serve the soup hot and enjoy a delicious, keto-friendly meal!
Tips:
- For extra creaminess, you can add a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk.
- Make sure to cook the bacon until it's crispy for added texture.
- You can blend the soup to your desired consistency using an immersion blender or a traditional blender.
- Garnish with extra crispy bacon bits and a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor and presentation.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of chicken gravy or let it simmer for a longer period to reduce.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
Cooking keto cauliflower and bacon soup is straightforward and rewarding. By following these steps and tips, you’ll have a hearty, delicious soup that fits perfectly into a keto diet. Enjoy this comforting meal on a chilly day, or serve it as a starter for a delightful dinner.
