Wholesome cauliflower and leek soup topped with crispy bacon, ready in just 45 minutes - the perfect cozy autumn meal.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 leeks, chopped (white and light green parts only)
  • 3 large cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 large shallot, chopped
  • 1 head cauliflower, separated into florets
  • 1 carton (32 oz) Progresso™ reduced-sodium chicken broth (4 cups)
  • 1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions:
  • - Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. - Sauté leeks, garlic, and shallot for 5 minutes until softened but not browned. - Stir in cauliflower, broth, and herbes de Provence. - Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes until cauliflower is tender.
  • In a 10-inch skillet, crisp up the bacon. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
  • After removing the soup from heat, blend it until smooth using a blender or immersion blender. For a regular blender, return the soup to the saucepan. If using an immersion blender, keep the saucepan on the heat.
