→ Garnishes
14 -
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
15 -
1/4 cup brunoise dill pickles
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Spoon the warm soup into bowls. Toss some crumbled bacon, dill pickles, and a bit of red onion on top. Dig in while it's hot.
02 -
After turning off the heat, add the cheddar, American cheese bits, and cream. Stir everything together so the cheese melts and the soup’s nice and velvety.
03 -
Drop the ground beef back into the pot, add your Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce, then stir for a few minutes so everything comes together.
04 -
Grab your stick blender and whirl the soup right in the pot until it’s super smooth and creamy.
05 -
Toss in the tomatoes and cauliflower pieces. Pour in the beef stock and use your spoon to scrape up anything stuck. Let it bubble, then turn down the heat and cook until the cauliflower is nice and soft—should take about 15 minutes.
06 -
Add the chopped onion to the leftover fat, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook at medium until it smells great, looks see-through, and has a little color—about 10 minutes.
07 -
Crumble the beef into the bacon fat and cook till it’s all browned. Pull it out with a slotted spoon and set aside for now.
08 -
Lay out the bacon in a cool Dutch oven, then turn the heat to medium-high. Flip the pieces once the first side crisps up, and let them get nice and crunchy. Move them to a paper towel and save the tasty bacon fat.
# Helpful Notes:
