Add onion, and saut\u00e9 until very tender. Add garlic and Cajun seasoning, and saut\u00e9 1-2 minutes longer. Stir in flour until onions are evenly coated. Slowly add chicken broth, about 1\/4 c. at a time, stirring constantly to keep mixture smooth. When all broth is incorporated, add potato cubes and cauliflower. Bring soup to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Using a stick blender, carefully blend soup until smooth. (You can also transfer soup to a regular blender and puree that way, but please be careful pouring the very hot soup!) Stir in half and half, cheese, and sour cream, and return to a simmer. If soup is thicker than you would like, stir in up to 1\/2 c. milk and return to a simmer. Sprinkle bacon and green onions over individual servings if desired.<\/p>\n<p>For no chew diet, omit bacon and onion garnish, or dice into very small pieces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Easy Potato Soup with Sneaky Cauliflower &nbsp; 2 tbsp. butter 1 small onion diced 2 cloves garlic crushed or minced 2 tbsp. flour 1\/2 tsp.
