Ingredients

    Instructions

    Step 1

    Heat the fragrant olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat until it shimmers invitingly. Saute the onion and celery in the sizzling oil until they turn soft and translucent, releasing their sweet aromas, for about 5 minutes. Introduce the garlic and a pinch of salt to the mix, stirring for an additional minute to enhance the flavors. Tumble in the hearty potato chunks, delicate cauliflower florets, and pour in the comforting chicken broth along with water, bringing the concoction to a lively boil. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and allow the ingredients to mingle and meld together, coaxing the cauliflower to tenderness and the potatoes to a delightful mashable consistency, which should take around 30 minutes.

    Step 2

    Embrace the creamy transformation by pureeing the soup with an immersion blender until it reaches a velvety smoothness. Adjust the heat to a cozy low setting, giving it a final seasoning of fiery cayenne pepper and a sprinkle of salt. Luxuriate the soup with a swirl of cream, gently stirring until it warms through. Taste and season with a pinch more salt if desired.

    Step 3

    In a separate dance of textures and flavors, crisp up the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it dances and crackles with caramelized perfection, which should take about 8 minutes. Transfer the crispy bacon to a waiting plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil. Toss the breadcrumbs into the remnants of the savory bacon fat in the skillet, coaxing them to a golden toastiness over a low flame until they sing with a delightful crunch. Introduce the cheese to the pan, stirring until it melts into a gooey symphony. Transfer this delectable mixture to a bowl, allowing it to cool to a gentle room temperature. Fold in the smoky bacon bits, zesty lemon zest, and fresh parsley, ensuring each morsel is coated in the savory medley.

    Step 4

    To serve, ladle the creamy soup into bowls, generously sprinkling the top with the flavorful bacon gremolata, a tantalizing blend of textures and tastes that elevates the dish to new heights.
