Ingredients:
- 4 strips bacon, chopped into small pieces
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon butter or ghee
- 36 oz. cauliflower florets
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 ½ teaspoons mineral salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
Directions:
- Heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until nice and crispy. Remove the bacon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add the diced onion, garlic, and butter or ghee to the pot. Sauté for a few minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Add the cauliflower, chicken broth, salt, pepper, bay leaf, and thyme. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15–20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is fork-tender.
- Remove the bay leaf and thyme stems. Carefully transfer about 2 cups of the soup to a blender and blend until creamy and smooth. Pour it back into the pot and stir to combine.
- Remove the soup from the heat. Stir in the coconut milk and shredded cheddar until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
- Ladle into bowls and pile on the crispy bacon, chopped green onions, and a little extra cheddar.
- Enjoy!
Laundry Moms Tip:
If your crew likes an extra-creamy soup, blend a little more of the cauliflower. Want it chunky and hearty? Blend less. Either way, bacon and cheese on top make everybody happy. 😉
*Top it with some grated cheddar for ‘S’
*Top it with Parmesan to keep it in Fuel Pull mode.

I couldn’t find the recipe! Where do I look?
Hey Jan…We are only able to share the tweaks if the full recipe has not been posted over at the Trim Healthy Mama’s FB page…but join their private group and be sure and grab the book either in Kindle (on their site) or paperback with the Amazon link above 🙂
ps…this yummy soup is just too good not to at least get the word out…even though it’s not the full recipe!
You will NOT be disappointed…best purchase for a health/diet/lifestyle plan I have EVER made!
(& I have purchased a LOT! 🙂

I can’t find the shortcut tweaks.
I’ve made this previously and it’s delicious!
Hey Sugarfreemommy….
Pearl offers a few suggestions here if you don’t have cauliflower 🙂
“If you don’t have cauliflower handy, this basic recipe works great with any other non-starchy veggie. I love it made with broccoli or yellow squash or zucchini. You can top it with some grated cheddar for S or keep it ultra-fat shedding and just use a little bit of Parmesan from the can to keep it in Fuel Pull mode.”
or want to have it in S or FP 🙂
Enjoy!
