Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat a large stockpot or Dutch oven, over medium heat.
Step 2
Add bacon, and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
Step 3
Melt butter in the stockpot.
Step 4
Add garlic, onion, carrots and celery, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in cauliflower and bay leaf. Cook, stirring occasionally, until barely crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 6
Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
Step 7
Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 8
Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until cauliflower is tender, about 12-15 minutes.
Step 9
Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Step 10
If the chowder is too thick, add more milk, until it's just right for you.
Step 11
Serve immediately, garnished with bacon and parsley
