Serves 6
Ingredients
1 head of cauliflower

1 medium onion, diced
4 slices bacon
1 tbsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. thyme
12 oz. aged cheddar
1 oz. parmesan cheese
3 cups chicken broth
¼ cup heavy cream
Directions
- Chop the cauliflower, and place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle olive oil and season it with salt and pepper. Bake for 35 minutes at 375°F.

- Incorporate the chicken broth and cauliflower, and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
- Once time is up, blend the ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth. Place back into the pot. Add the cheddar and the parmesan cheese, and stir until melted.
