A rich and creamy keto-friendly cauliflower soup loaded with smoky bacon, sharp cheddar, and green onions, perfect for cozy dinners and low-carb lifestyles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head cauliflower, chopped into florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped (thick-cut recommended)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream (full-fat)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place chopped bacon in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Cook until crispy, about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving bacon fat in the pot.
  2. Add butter to the bacon fat, then toss in diced onion. Cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
  3. Stir in the chopped cauliflower florets, coating them in the buttery, garlicky mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Pour in chicken broth, enough to just cover the cauliflower (about 4 cups). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until cauliflower is fork-tender, roughly 15 minutes.
  5. Remove pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, puree soup until smooth and creamy. If using a countertop blender, carefully blend in batches and return to pot.
  6. Stir in heavy cream and cream cheese until fully melted and combined. Return pot to low heat—do not boil—just warm through for 3-5 minutes.
  7. Add salt and pepper to taste, remembering that bacon and cheese add saltiness, so taste before adding too much.
  8. Ladle soup into bowls. Top with crispy bacon, shredded cheddar, and sliced green onions. Serve immediately for best texture.

Notes

If the soup is too thick, add a splash more broth or cream to reach your preferred consistency. Cook bacon slowly over medium heat for perfect crispiness. Avoid boiling cream to prevent curdling. Blend thoroughly for a silky smooth texture. Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
