Directions

1. Clean cauliflower and cut into small florets. Add to a three-quart or larger lidded saucepan, along with the yellow onion, spinach, milk, and broth. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover, lower heat to medium-low, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
2. Blend hot ingredients until smooth, and season with black pepper. Set aside.
3. If bacon is desired, fry in a non-stick pan until crispy but not burned, about 3-5 minutes. If not using bacon, warm olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat, add chipotle pieces, and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes
4. Add scallions and cook until tender, about 2 minutes
5. When ready to serve, ladle soup into individual bowls and garnish with scallions and chipotle or bacon.
