My lightened-up version swaps the potatoes for low-cal\/low-carb cauliflower while keeping all of the comforting appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Loaded Cauliflower Soup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In a Dutch oven set over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, set aside, and pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings from the pan. Raise the heat to medium-high.<\/li><li>Add the chopped onion, celery, and garlic to the pan and drippings and cook, stirring frequently, until just beginning to become tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped cauliflower, the chicken broth, salt, pepper, and fresh thyme. Bring the broth to a boil; cover and reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the cauliflower is completely tender, about 15 minutes.<\/li><li>Let the mixture cool slightly then carefully pour it into a blender. Add the whole milk. Attach the blender lid on top, removing the center piece of the lid to let steam escape. Cover that center opening with a towel, holding your hand over the towel, and process the soup mixture on low at first (gradually increasing the speed) until completely smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the smooth soup back into the Dutch oven on the stovetop and set it over medium heat to let it warm through, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt and pepper, if needed<\/li><li>Crumble the cooked bacon slices. Serve the soup in bowls topped with crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"1813\" data-pin-description=\"Loaded Cauliflower Soup (200 calories or 3 WW points) - This healthy soup recipe is a lighter twist on the classic loaded baked potato soup with all the creamy, rich flavor and a fraction of the calories, carbs, and fat.

You can roast its florets, pulse it into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andiemitchell.com\/cauliflower-fried-rice-chicken\/\">\u201crice\u201d<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andiemitchell.com\/parmesan-mashed-cauliflower\/\">mash it<\/a>, and even blend it into a creamy soup like this one. Like potatoes, cauliflower doesn&#8217;t have a strong flavor so it&#8217;s the perfect low carb substitution in lots of recipes (you can even add frozen cauliflower florets to smoothies for bulk and creaminess!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"1813\" data-pin-description=\"Loaded Cauliflower Soup (200 calories or 3 WW points) - This healthy soup recipe is a lighter twist on the classic loaded baked potato soup with all the creamy, rich flavor and a fraction of the calories, carbs, and fat.

To make it a fuller meal, serve it with a side of crusty bread, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andiemitchell.com\/tried-and-true-tender-cornbread\/\">cornbread<\/a> or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andiemitchell.com\/everyday-side-salad-with-balsamic-vinaigrette\/\">side salad.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top tips to make this recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Cooking the veggies in a little bit of the rendered bacon fat infuses the soup with rich, smoky flavor.<\/li><li>Use a stick blender or stand blender to puree the soup into a silky-smooth consistency. <\/li><li>If using a stand blender, make sure you allow the soup to cool slightly before pouring it in your blender. Attach the blender lid on top, removing the center piece of the lid to let steam escape. Cover that center opening with a towel, holding your hand over the towel, and process the soup mixture on low at first (gradually increasing the speed) until completely smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.<\/li><li>Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for around 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove. <\/li><li>The soup also freezes well. Thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"1813\" data-pin-description=\"Loaded Cauliflower Soup (200 calories or 3 WW points) - This healthy soup recipe is a lighter twist on the classic loaded baked potato soup with all the creamy, rich flavor and a fraction of the calories, carbs, and fat.
