名人厨师Melissa d'Arabian分享她的奶油花椰菜汤食谱： There are few soups more decadent than a classic baked potato soup, loaded with cream, Cheddar cheese and smoky bacon. I make a lighter version by leaving out the cream, subbing cauliflower for most of the potato (one potato locks in the flavor), and adding a dollop of reduced-fat cream cheese to deliver the creaminess and cheesiness. A stealth addition of one carrot adds a subtle color that makes the soup seem cheesier than it is, since the only Cheddar here is what sits on top of the soup!
Serves 4
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
2片培根，切碎
1甜洋葱（毛伊岛或维达利亚），切碎
1个小花椰菜头（约1¼磅），去核，修剪并分成小花
1个中型赤褐色土豆，去皮切成1英寸的块
1小块胡萝卜，切碎
2瓣大蒜，切碎或压蒜机
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼茶匙黑胡椒粉
2杯低钠鸡汤
¼杯低脂奶油芝士（Neufchâtel）
½ cup plain reduced-fat
Greek yogurt
½ cup grated Cheddar cheese
2葱（切成白色和浅绿色的部分），切碎
1.将培根放入中火的大汤锅中；煮至培根酥，约7分钟。用开槽的勺子将培根转移到衬有纸巾的盘子上。搁置。
2. Stir the onion into the bacon fat and cook, stirring often, until it is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the cauliflower, potato, carrot, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
3. Raise the heat to medium-high, add the broth and 1 cup water, and bring the liquid to a boil. Simmer the mixture until the vegetables are very soft, about 13 minutes. Turn off the heat and use a ladle to transfer half the vegetables and liquid to a blender. Add the cream cheese and blend until smooth.
4. Pour the puréed soup into a large bowl or clean saucepan. Blend the second half of the soup until it is smooth and add it to the first batch. Heat the soup over medium heat until it is warmed through. Divide among soup bowls and serve topped with a dollop of yogurt and some of the grated cheese, bacon and scallion.
