BACON, BLUE CHEESE, AND CAULIFLOWER CHOWDER
Note from source: I use this as a low carb meal, using cauliflower.
Add cauliflower, mushrooms, and carrots to pot and saute for 5-10 minutes.
Add chicken broth and cook until vegetables are done.
Add blue cheese and cook until blue cheese melts.
Turn heat to low, pour in half-and-half, and cook approximately 10-15 minutes until heated through.
OPTIONAL: you can add fish or chicken to this also
I dont know the exact counts on this but it is very very good I got this recipe from the recipelink site and make it often.
