To make this creamy cauliflower soup, I started by dropping some chopped bacon into a large pot over medium-high heat.
I cooked the bacon until it was brown and crispy.
I used a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel lined plate.
I drained most of the bacon grease from the pot but left about 1 tablespoon in the pot.
I added some diced onions to the pot.
I cooked until the onions were translucent.
Then I added some minced garlic to the pot and continued cooking for about a minute.
I poured a cup of chicken broth into the pot and used it to deglaze the bottom of the pot.
I added some cauliflower florets to the pot.
I poured some more chicken broth over the cauliflower florets.
I also added some salt, pepper and onion powder to the pot.
I stirred all of the ingredients together well and then brought the liquid to a boil.
I reduced the heat to medium-low and left it to simmer for about twenty minutes until the cauliflower was tender.
Then I used an immersion blender to blend the mixture until no large chunks remained.
I added some cream cheese and heavy cream to the pot.
I stirred until the cream cheese was melted.
Then I added some of the cooked bacon to the pot along with some chopped green onions.
I stirred the bacon and green onions into the soup.
Then I added some shredded cheddar cheese to the pot.
I stirred until the cheese was melted.
Then the cheesy cauliflower soup with bacon was ready to serve.
I scooped the creamy cauliflower soup into bowls.
I topped the bowls of soup with more cooked bacon, shredded cheddar and chopped green onions.
