Steps:
- Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towels-lined plate with a slotted spoon; set aside to drain.
- Add the broccoli stems, garlic and onion to the drippings in the pot and cook until slightly softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the paprika and crushed red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until incorporated.
- Add the broccoli florets, chicken broth and 2 cups water. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened and the broccoli stems and florets are cooked through, about 25 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until creamy. If using a stand blender, work in batches, transferring the soup to the blender and pureeing until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids); return the soup to the pot.
- Return the soup to medium-low heat and whisk in the Cheddar and Monterey Jack until smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with the vinegar, cayenne and some salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and sprinkle with the bacon and extra Cheddar and Monterey Jack.
LOW CARB BROCCOLI SOUP
This soup is terrific for those of us watching our carb intake. It's flavorful and wonderfully creamy even though it contains absolutely no milk or cream. The soup is also great for ovo-lacto vegetarians with the cheese garnish and straight vegetarians by leaving the cheese out.

Tips:
- Use a good quality sharp cheddar cheese. This will give the soup a rich, flavorful taste.

- If you want a thicker soup, add more cauliflower. You can also puree some of the soup in a blender before adding the cheese.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the broth and make the meal more satisfying.
