CHEF'S NOTES
This cream of cauliflower is velvety and very easy to make. The bacon bits give it additional flavour and texture.
You can replace the bacon with strips of smoked ham.
Use white pepper for this recipe, which is more compatible with the soup's pale colour.
*To avoid having to pour hot liquid from one container to another, we recommend using an electric immersion blender that can be used right in the cooking pot. Otherwise, let the mixture cool slightly before pouring it into the blender container to avoid burning yourself!
A word to those who like their vegetables al dente: to achieve a creamy consistency with this soup, the cauliflower must be well-cooked so that it can be made into a smooth purée.
