Bacon truffle cauliflower soup: add 150g cooked bacon pieces, to taste when serving and substitute the butter with 1-2 tsp truffle oil for a slightly more decadent flavour.

 

 

Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

    Lovely soup. Easy to whip up and extra yummy when dunking a cheesy puff in!

    I sautéed an onion between grating the cheese and starting the soup for a richer flavour.

    Next time I'll add the cheese to the soup before blitzing and more seasoning.

    Love this recipe sooo much! Definitely a winter favourite here. I often use a bit of Broccoli to make up the weight and maybe a bit more butter than listed 😅. And the bacon dust ..... yum!!!

    Yum!!!!
    I made this and my husband and daughter loved it. I broke the bacon up and put it in the last 30 seconds of the blend. Will definately be in my fav. list. A great winter warmer with plenty left over to take to work lunch for several days.
