From RetiredCook 9 years agoIngredients
- 2 slices bacon, chopped shopping list
- 1/2 cup chopped celery shopping list
- 1/2 cup chopped onion shopping list
- 3 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 4 cups grated cauliflower (used almost an entire head of a medium sized) shopping list
- 1/4 cup water shopping list
- 2 cups milk shopping list
- 2 cups chicken stock, divided shopping list
- 2 T. flour shopping list
- 1/2 cup (2 oz.) shredded Gruyere cheese, or cheese of choice shopping list
- Garnish: dried basil & Tabasco shopping list
How to make it
- Sauté bacon until browned; remove from pan and set aside. Add the celery, onion and garlic to the bacon drippings in pan and cook for 5 minutes. Add the cauliflower along with the water and let steam for 10 minutes (5 minutes didn’t seem long enough), covered over low heat.
- Add the milk and 1 1/2 cups of the chicken stock; bring to a boil and simmer chowder for 10 minutes until the cauliflower is tender. At this point, I wanted the soup a little smoother so I pulsed 3 cups in a processor and added back to the pot. Combine the flour with the remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock and slowly stir into the chowder; cook for another 3 minutes.
- Stir in the cheese and return the bacon to the chowder over low heat until cheese has melted. Serve garnished with a sprinkling of basil and a drizzle of Tabasco.
- Makes 1 1/2 qts.
- 3/8/15 – Served with a Chef’s Journey Sourdough pizza dough flatbread topped with roasted garlic oil, chicken pieces (l/o from Caesar Salad) and sprinkle with Gruyere cheese. Very good with Sara’s Rose.
