Steps:
- In a large pot, fry the bacon pieces over medium-high heat until crisp. Drain the bacon on a paper towel and set aside. Pour off the grease and return the pot to the stove.
- Add the onions to the pot and cook over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cauliflower, sprinkle with the Cajun spice and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook, stirring, until the cauliflower starts turning golden brown, another 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture slightly, or all the way if you prefer. (Or use a regular blender; just don't fill too full.)
- In a separate saucepan or skillet, melt the butter. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk to form a paste. Pour in the milk, then continue cooking until it thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the half-and-half.
- Pour the white sauce into the soup. Turn the heat to medium high and bring back to a boil for 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, stirring in the cheese and sour cream until the cheese is fully melted. Stir in the parsley.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve with a little extra cheese, a sprinkle of bacon and a sprinkle of parsley.

Tips:
- Choose fresh cauliflower: Use a head of cauliflower that is firm and white, with no signs of browning or bruising.
- Roast the cauliflower before making the soup: Roasting the cauliflower gives it a slightly caramelized flavor that adds depth to the soup.
- Use a good quality broth or stock: The broth or stock you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. Choose a broth or stock that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Don't overcook the soup: Overcooking the soup will make the cauliflower mushy. Simmer the soup just until the cauliflower is tender.
- Serve the soup with a garnish: A garnish such as fresh herbs, grated Parmesan cheese, or roasted cashew nuts will add a touch of flavor and color to the soup.
Conclusion:
This Cheesy Cauliflower Soup with Roasted Cashew Nuts is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. The soup is creamy and flavorful, with a slightly caramelized flavor from the roasted cauliflower. The cashew nuts add a crunchy texture and a nutty flavor.
