Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 head cauliflower cut into florets, 1 pound or 4 cups
  • 1 small onion chopped, 1/2 cup
  • 1 stalk celery chopped, 1/2 cup
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4-5 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup raw cashews
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 medium russet potato peeled, cut into 1/2" pieces
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Toppings

  • 5 strips turkey bacon
  • 5 tablespoons reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 scallion chopped
  • 5 tablespoons low-fat Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toss cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in single layer on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly browned.

    Heat remaining oil in large saucepan. Add onion, celery and garlic. Sauté 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add 4 cups chicken broth, cashews, thyme, roasted cauliflower and potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook 20-25 minutes until potatoes are tender. Add more chicken broth to cover vegetables as needed.

    Place vegetables and soup in blender and blend until smooth. You may need to do this in two batches.


Turkey Bacon Bits

  1. Finely mince turkey bacon. Place in cold skillet and turn heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until bacon bits are browned and crisp. Transfer to paper towel lined plate.

To Serve

  1. Ladle pureed soup into serving bowls. Top with turkey bacon bits, shredded cheese, chopped scallion and Greek yogurt.

Recipe Notes

You can substitute a leftover baked potato for the potato in this recipe. Just scoop out the inside of the baked potato and add to the soup to reheat.
