How to make delicious Low Carb Cauliflower Chowder

This delicious soup is modified from a recipe I found on damndelicious.net - but it had flour and milk in it. I don't eat grains, so to reduce the carbs, I swapped the flour for cream cheese as a thickener, and also swapped the milk for heavy (pure) cream. The original recipe advised it made 6 serves each with 17.4g carbs. My version would have 11.9 carbs, and no grains. Cream cheese may not thicken as much as flour, but it sure adds a lovely flavour - and you can always puree part of the soup with a stick blender at the end if you want it thicker. Either way, this was delicious. INGREDIENTS: 4 slices bacon, diced (or 1/4 cup real bacon bits) 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 onion, diced 2 carrots, peeled and diced 2 stalks celery, diced 1/4 cup cream cheese 4 cups chicken broth 1 cup heavy / pure cream 1 head cauliflower, roughly chopped 1 bay leafKosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves (optional) DIRECTIONS: If you're using sliced bacon, heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside. Melt butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, cream, and cream cheese. Cook, whisking constantly, until cream cheese melts and it's slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in cauliflower and bay leaf. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until cauliflower are tender, about 12-15 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. If the chowder is not thick enough, use a stick blender to puree part of it. I chose not to as I like more chunky vegetables in my soups and stews. Serve immediately, garnished with bacon and parsley, if desired. Visit and Like us on Facebook:   / annas-kitchen-1686376324950749
