Keto Bacon Cauliflower Chowder Recipe

Keto Bacon Cauliflower Chowder Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/4 head cauliflower
• 1 medium turnip (just bigger than a tennis ball)
• 3 slices bacon
• 1/2 medium onion
• 2 cups (480 ml) half-and-half
• 1 can (10 ounces, or 280 g) minced clams
• salt and pepper

Method

1. Cut the cauliflower into a few good size chunks and put it in your food processor with the S-blade in place
2. Peel the turnip, quarter it, and drop it in there, too
3. Pulse the processor until everything is chopped to a medium-fine consistency
4. Put the cauliflower and turnip in a microwaveable casserole dish with a lid, add a couple of tablespoons (30 ml) of water, cover, and microwave on high for 12 minutes
5. While that’s cooking, chop up the bacon-I snip mine up with cooking shears, right into the pot-and start frying it over medium-high heat in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, stirring from time to time
6. Put that food processor bowl back on its base with the S-blade in place, throw in the half-onion, and pulse until it is chopped medium-fine
7. Dump the onion in with the bacon, which should be giving off some grease by now
8. Fry the onion and bacon together until the onion is translucent
9. Pour the half-and-half and the clams into the pot-don’t bother to drain the clams
10. Stir it and then let the whole thing come to a simmer, stirring from time to time
11. When the cauliflower and turnips are done, add them to the pot, too-no need to drain
12. Stir them in, add salt or substitute and pepper to taste, let the soup simmer just another minute or two, and serve
