Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Toss the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, and roast for 30 minutes. You want nice browned edges. 
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. 
  • Cook the bacon until it begins to crisp and renders its fat. Remove with a slotted spoon and reserve. 
  • Cook the garlic and thyme in the bacon fat for 2 minutes.
  • Add the chicken stock, onion powder, and roasted cauliflower, and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and over. Cook for 20 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender, puree the soup to a smooth consistency. Reduce the heat and stir in the shredded cheese, a little at a time, until melted.
  • Add the cream, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and bacon.
