Description
A creamy and comforting Keto ‘Loaded’ Baked Potato Soup made with cauliflower and topped with cheddar cheese and crispy turkey bacon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 cups cauliflower florets (about 1 large head)
- 5 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese, plus extra for garnish
- 1/2 cup crispy turkey bacon bits, plus extra for garnish
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Incorporate the minced garlic and continue cooking for another minute until aromatic.
- Introduce the cauliflower florets and vegetable broth to the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is fork-tender.
- Carefully blend the mixture using a blender or an immersion blender until it reaches a velvety consistency.
- Mix in the coconut cream, sea salt, black pepper, onion powder, grated cheddar cheese, and turkey bacon bits. Allow the chowder to warm gently over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Ladle the chowder into bowls and finish with a sprinkle of extra cheddar cheese, additional bacon bits, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a scattering of fresh chives.
Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a hint of mustard.
- To make it vegan, replace the coconut cream with cashew cream and omit the cheese and bacon.
