500 g frozen Cauliflower Florets
6 slices Bacon chopped
1 Small Onion chopped
1 ½ lb Kielbasa Sausage sliced or chopped
1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
2 ½ cups Chicken Broth
2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
½ - ¾ teaspoon Xanthan Gum optional. ½ teaspoon as pictured, ¾ for a thicker soup. Leaving it out will make for a thinner soup.
Salt and Pepper to taste
Sour cream extra bacon, and/or green onions, for garnish.

Place frozen cauliflower in a microwave safe dish, cover with plastic wrap.
Microwave on high for 12-15 minutes. It should be VERY soft and easy to mash.
While the cauliflower is cooking, place bacon and onions in a medium pot. Cook over medium heat until onions are tender and most of the fat has rendered off the bacon.
Add kielbasa, continue cooking another couple of minutes, until the kielbasa starts browning.
Add almond milk to the pot, turn heat down to low.
Once cauliflower is soft and mashable, drain well and add to a food processor or high speed blender, along with some of the chicken broth.
Blitz until very smooth - you may need to add more chicken broth to get it going.
Add cauliflower mix to the pot, along with any remaining chicken broth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Toss cheese with xanthan gum - if using - and add to the pot a little at a time. Stir well between additions, allowing cheese to melt before adding more.
Once cheese is fully melted and combined, season soup with salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with sour cream, bacon, and green onions.
