- Then add in the 1 tbsp of flour and stir to cook out the raw flour flavor and add in the cauliflower, some salt and pepper and 1 more tbsp olive oil and stir to combine .
- Next, add in the 4 cups of chicken broth, parsley and bay leaf and cook for about 20 minutes until the flavors have combined and the cauliflower is fork tender. Turn off the heat.
- Next , take out the bay leaf and add in the milk, sour cream, parmesan cheese and some more salt and pepper and with a hand held immersion blender blend until smooth.
- Check the soup to see if it need more salt and pepper and then serve it with more cheese on top and the chopped turkey bacon! This soup is so good and the smokey turkey bacon mixed in the warm soup truly makes this recipe! :)
