Description

I took a low carb recipe I found in a cookbook and made a few changes to make it my own. This is low carb and delicious. I hope you like it!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Chicken Broth
  • 4 cups Water
  • 1 head Cauliflower, Chopped Into Small Pieces
  • ½ cups Red Onion, Chopped
  • 5 ounces, weight Fresh Spinach
  • ¼ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper, Or To Taste
  • 1 teaspoon Salt, Or To Taste
  • 1 teaspoon Salt-free All Purpose Seasoning Like Spike
  • ¼ teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 4 cloves Garlic, Crushed (can Increase Up To 6 Cloves)
  • 3 cups Smoky Gouda Cheese, Grated
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Real Bacon Bits, Divided

Preparation

In a soup pot put chicken broth, water, and cauliflower. Bring to a boil and cook until cauliflower is very tender, about 15-20 minutes or so.

Add red onion, baby spinach, cayenne, salt, all-purpose seasoning, pepper and garlic.

With a stick blender or in a regular blender, puree the soup. Return to the pot if using a regular blender. Cook about 15 minutes more.

Slowly add the cheese in handfuls. Gouda is a soft cheese and will melt quickly.

Add cream and 1/2 cup of bacon bits. Blend with the stick blender or return to the blender. Blend until it starts to thicken a bit. The cream will thicken the soup up beautifully.

Pour back into pot and add the rest of the bacon bits. Warm another 5 minutes and serve.

Enjoy!
