Creamy Artichoke Bacon Soup

A creamy artichoke bacon soup with pureed cauliflower.

Creamy Artichoke Bacon Soup is a healthy, gluten-free, low carb soup, that is also grain-free. I love artichokes and cream soups, so this is a win-win for me.

Topping it with bacon will also keep my Hubby happy, and not quite so fearful of the veggie contents in this soup, lol. Although in his mind and creative way of thinking, this soup was vegetarian (umm, no, it has bacon!).

I also made a video for this recipe, and yes some of the shots were shaky because I used a heavy overhead tripod, to which I kept bumping into while shooting.

There has to be a better way, maybe involving duct tape and a visit from MacGyver perhaps. Suggestions are appreciated and welcome.
