Ingredients:
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 stalks celery, diced

- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pot and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pot.
- Add butter to the pot with the bacon fat. Once melted, add diced onion, minced garlic, and diced celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in dried thyme and coconut flour, and cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flour to slightly brown.
- Gradually pour in chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
- Add heavy cream and the reserved clam juices to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- Add diced cauliflower florets to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the cauliflower is tender, about 10 minutes.
