We are naturally drawn to high-carbohydrate foods like a kid attracted to candies. I know I am.

Imagine a creamy, smooth, thick, comforting, flavorful potato soup loaded with satisfying carbs.

Yet, when we’re trying to lower our carbs intake, potato soup just won’t cut it.

What does red potatoes, bacon, Parmesan cheese, fish sauce, and garlic have in common?

They pair extremely well with cauliflower!

Tips for Instant Pot Cauliflower Potato Soup

1. Purchasing White Cauliflower: Look for clean, creamy white, tightly packed florets = fresh cauliflower!

2. Cooking Crispy Bacon

  • In order to cook the meat and fat evenly, crispy, and not burnt, place them in the cold pot before turning on the heat. Then, let the heat slowly render out the pork fat.
  • It’s also important to absorb the bacon’s excess fat with paper towel after sauteing – this helps crisp up the umami bacon bits!

3. Smaller Cauliflower Florets: Break the larger pieces into smaller florets, so it’ll be easier to blend.

4. Fish Sauce: Fish sauce is an optional ingredient, but it adds a kick of irresistible umami-ness to the hearty soup. Don’t worry! It won’t taste fishy. 😉

5. Thinner Consistency: If you like a thinner soup consistency, add hot unsalted chicken stock to adjust the thickness of the soup.
