Tips for the Best Creamy Cauliflower Soup:
- Roast the Cauliflower (Optional): For an even deeper, more complex flavor, roast the cauliflower florets before adding them to the pot. Toss with a little avocado oil and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes.
- Adjust the Consistency: If you prefer a thinner soup, add more vegetable broth. For a thicker soup, use less broth or blend in a cooked potato.
- Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce for a little heat.
- Garnish with Flair: Get creative with your toppings! Besides the crispy turkey bacon, consider a swirl of coconut cream, a sprinkle of fresh herbs (chives or parsley work well), or a drizzle of olive oil.
