PSA: If you cry when you cut an onion, then you need these bad boys: ONION GOGGLES! Yes, they work! I use them every time I chop onions because otherwise the tears cloud my chopping judgement if you know what I mean.

Now, let me interrupt our regularly scheduled onion goggle programming to explain how to easily chop head (or two) of cauliflower.

First, cut the whole falootin’ thing in half.

Then, use the end of your knife to cut the florets along the stem of the cauliflower.

Keep cutting until you create a bunch of little cauliflower babies. I go into more detail on this in the ole video (hint, hint… go watch it)!

Next, toss 1/2 a chopped yellow onion into a slow cooker, then add in 3 minced garlic cloves.

Then add in your cauliflower florets that you’ve chopped so beautifully.

Next, pour in 5 cups of unsalted chicken or vegetable stock and sprinkle on 1/2 tsp. of dried thyme.

Then add in 1 bay leaf, a pinch of red chile flakes, 1 tsp. Kosher salt, and 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper.

Cover and cook on high for 6 hours or low for 10. You want your cauliflower to be fork-tender.

Next, add in 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream. Then sprinkle on 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese. Remove bay leaf.

Next, stir until everything has melted and turn the heat off.

Finally, using an immersion blender, blend the soup until your desired consistency. We like the soup to be puréed, so I will blend until the chunks of cauliflower are smooth.

If you don’t have an immersion blender, pour the soup into a blender. Don’t put the top on the blender! Instead, cover it with a kitchen towel and blend until smooth.

After that, just garnish with some chopped green onion and cooked bacon and chow down!

Calories 309 kcal

Ingredients
  

  • ½ medium yellow onion
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 medium heads cauliflower cut into florets
  • 5 cups unsalted chicken stock or veggie stock
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ½ tsp. dried thyme
  • Pinch red chile flakes
  • 1 tsp. Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 8 oz.
  • Green onion chopped, for garnish
  • 4 strips cooked bacon chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients from onion to black pepper (not whipping cream, cheese, or garnishes) in your slow cooker. Stir to combine. Cook on high for 6 hours or low for 10. Once cauliflower is tender, stir in the heavy cream and cheddar cheese just until cheese has melted. Turn heat off and remove bay leaf.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend until desired consistency. (If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully ladle soup into a blender and blend. Be sure to leave the top slightly open so heat can escape.)
  • Garnish with bacon bits and green onion.
  • Leftovers freeze very well.

Notes

This recipe freezes very well! Just put it in individual, air-tight containers and freeze.
