Ingredients:

• 1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup cooked pork belly, diced
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in the chopped cauliflower and pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the cauliflower is tender, about 15-20 minutes.
4. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.
5. Return the pureed soup to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream, nutritional yeast, and Cajun seasoning. Mix well and heat through, adjusting salt and pepper to taste.
6. In a separate pan, crisp the diced pork belly until golden and crispy.
