Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 leeks, chopped (white and light green parts only)
3 large cloves garlic, crushed
1 large shallot, chopped
1 head cauliflower, separated into florets
1 carton (32 oz) Progresso™ reduced-sodium chicken broth (4 cups)
1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence
4 slices bacon, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
