  • SERVES
    6 people
  • PREP TIME
    15 minutes
  • Cook TIME
    45 minutes
Ingredients
  • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 6 slices of bacon, cut into small pieces
  • 1 medium-sized onion, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups of whole milk
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and arrange the cauliflower florets on a baking tray. Roast them for 20 minutes, or until they’re golden and crispy.
  2. While the cauliflower is roasting, heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until it’s crispy. Remove the bacon, but leave the fat in the pot.
  3. Add the onion and garlic to the pot and sauté them until they’re soft and fragrant.
  4. Stir in the potatoes and then pour in the broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Once the cauliflower is roasted, add it to the pot and pour in the milk and cream. Season the chowder with salt and pepper.
  6. Let the chowder simmer for 10 more minutes, then remove it from the heat.
  7. Garnish the chowder with the crispy bacon and fresh parsley before serving.

The Clustering Cauliflower Chowder is a unique twist on the classic chowder. Its inspiration was drawn from the traditional potato chowder, but with a distinctive touch added by Iron Chef AI.
