Loaded Cauliflower-Potato Soup

Made with fairlife® Whole Ultra-Filtered Milk

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups, fairlife® whole ultra-filtered milk
  • 1 lb yukon gold potatoes, not peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 3 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1 lb yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (reserve the peels)
  • 2 2 oz slabs pancetta or bacon, diced
  • 2 medium leeks (white and light green parts only), chopped
  • 4 medium garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small head cauliflower (5-6in. diameter), core and stem removed and florets coarsely chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Directions:

STEP 1

Preheat oven to 400°.

STEP 2

Put the cut, unpeeled (skin-on) potatoes at the center of a large baking sheet coated in non-stick spray. toss the potatoes in 1.5 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. spread across the baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned.

STEP 3

Meanwhile separate the peels from the remaining potatoes and put the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water until ready to use. heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a large stock pot.

STEP 4

Add the diced pancetta or bacon and potato peels to the pot and cook until crispy (about 10 minutes). when done, transfer the pancetta or bacon and potato peels to a small plate lined with paper towel (set aside) and reduce the heat beneath the pot to low.

STEP 5

Add the leeks and garlic to the pot with the residual fat and let soften slightly (about 3 minutes). then add the cauliflower, peeled potatoes (drained of cold water), 3 teaspoons salt, black pepper, broth, and fairlife® whole ultra-filtered milk. bring to a gentle simmer (below boiling) over medium-low heat and let cook 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes and cauliflower are very tender. when done, reduce heat to low.

STEP 6

Using a conventional or immersion blender, blend the entire contents of the pot until very smooth. then add the skin-on roasted potato chunks. serve with the crispy pancetta-potato peel mixture on top plus additional toppings as desired.

freezer instructions: omit the potato peels in step 4 and simply add the cooked pancetta or bacon back to the soup when you add the cubed, roasted potatoes in step 6. fully prepare the soup, let cool off-heat for 20-30 minutes, then store and freeze in an airtight container for 2-3 weeks. re-heat by letting sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours, then transfer to a pot and warm over medium-low heat.
