How to Make
-
Step 1: Heat a large stockpot or Dutch oven, over medium heat.

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
