Non Dairy Creamy Vegetable Soup With Bacon Recipes

11 BEST (AND CREAMIEST) DAIRY-FREE SOUP RECIPES: CREAMY ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SOUP (AIP, PALEO, WHOLE 30)

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400f degrees. Cut the head of cauliflower into small florets, toss in coconut oil, and spread evenly on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Roast for 30 minutes, tossing half-way in between. Remove and set aside and turn the oven off.
• On the stovetop, in a bottom-heavy pan or dutch oven, add the bacon slices. Cook over medium heat until fat is rendered and bacon is crispy. Set bacon aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
• In the bacon grease, add chopped onion and sprinkle with sea salt. Stir with a wooden spoon for 3-5 minutes until translucent.
• Next, add the roasted cauliflower florets and stir around to get coated in the grease and onions. Add bone broth over top and turn the heat high to bring to a boil.
• Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let soup simmer for 15 minutes or so. The cauliflower should be very soft.
• Once done, turn the heat off. Transfer to a high-speed blender and add coconut cream, collagen, and another pinch of sea salt to taste. Blend on high for 30 seconds or so until everything is creamy and well combined.
• Serve into bowls, top each bowl with a drizzle of pesto (approx. 1/2 Tbsp or more per bowl). Each of the 4 bowls gets crushed bacon over top! For non-AIP version, add pepitas or any other seeds you like. Serve hot, store leftovers in a mason jar in the fridge.

DAIRY-FREE CREAMY BROCCOLI SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Add broccoli stalks, potatoes, broccoli florets, and celery root; toss until coated in oil. Cover vegetables with chicken stock; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are easily pierced with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove soup from heat.
• Fill a blender no more than halfway with liquid and vegetables. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before increasing blender to maximum speed. Puree until soup is light green and creamy, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat with remaining soup, working in batches.

CREAMY BACON-VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Cook and stir bacon in large saucepan on medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels.
• Add carrots, celery and onions to bacon drippings in pan; cook 8 to 10 min. or until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and flour; cook 2 min., stirring frequently.
• Stir in beans and broth; bring just to boil. Simmer on medium-low heat 25 min. or until vegetables are tender, stirring in cream cheese for the last 5 min. Remove from heat. Stir in bacon.

NON-DAIRY, CREAMY VEGETABLE SOUP WITH BACON

Steps:

• Fry bacon until crispy around the edges. Drain on paper towels and set aside. Reserve 1 tsp of the bacon fat, and use to saute the onion, shredded cabbage, bell peppers, and black pepper. Cook until vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
• In a large saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Add the sauteed onion, cabbage and bell pepper mixture, along with the potatoes and carrots. Reduce heat, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove about 1 cup of cooked vegetables and set aside.
• Use a stick blender (or a food processor) to blend the remaining mixture until smooth.
• Stir the reserved cooked vegetables, basil and cooked bacon into the puree. (You may wish to save a bit of bacon for garnish) Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
• Garnish with reserved cooked bacon, if desired.
• Note: Depending on the variety of potato you use, you may need to add additional broth to thin the soup.
