Cauliflower & Bacon Soup
A very filling & hearty soup with bacony goodness. Still very lean & healthy for those of us trying to eat well. My kids love this one!
Serving: 8
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower head chopped
- 1 leek, white part, chopped
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 4 rashers bacon, trimmed of fat & finely chopped
- 4cups chicken stock (real is best)
To finish--
- 1/2 cup shaved Parmesan
- 250ml lite cream
Instructions
- 1. Place cauliflower, leek, garlic, bacon and stock in slow cooker on high for 1 hour and low for about 4 hours or until cauliflower is soft.
- 2. Blend with stick blender to puree.
- 3. Add cheese & stir through until melted.
- 4. Add cream and stir through before serving with sourdough or fresh bread rolls.
- You can replace leek with onion, cream with lactose free cream (as I do usually) and use cheddar cheese instead of Parmesan.

This was a winner all round! Even my 4 year old loved it 😀 I didn’t add the cheese because we were dipping cheesy garlic bread into it and it was fantastic with out it. Would definitely make again.
I needed to double the stock for this one. Probably because my cauliflower was as big as a Volkswagen Beetle, perhaps? (They were on special at Harris Farm). Tastes good though.
About to make this, will let u know what I think when it’s done!
Loved it! Made heaps so will be freezing the rest. Will definitely be making it again! I didn’t add the cheese tho cos I don’t like cheese and I used an onion instead of the leek as suggested but it was still yummy without it!
I thoroughly enjoyed this and highly recommend it. I used 2 cauli’s, 1 onion instead of leek (personal choice) and added 2 potatoes, with 2.5 litres chicken stock. It was so yummy and very easy to cook.
This was excellent. So tasty, with an onion instead of leek, plus 2 potatoes added. I will definitely make this a regular soup batch.
Not really a fan, but maybe it was something I did? Found the parmesan kind of just went gunky, tad to garlicky & didn’t really enjoy the texture 🙁
I make this regularly but today added 1 hot chilli, yummo!
Loved this, used onion instead of leek, and put 1 head of broccoli in as well, was so scrumptious, no parmisan, just cream as I was blitzing
I make this outstanding recipe, tweaking to my likes (eg chillis), and for the first time tried the roasted cauli method. Outstanding!!!! Thanks for this recipe.
