Steam 2 cups of cauliflower florets until soft.Place cauliflower in a Blendtec along with vegetable stock and puree until smooth using the soup button. If you do not have a Blendtec, use a food processor or blender.Add artichoke hearts, basil, and and a bit of salt and pepper. Puree once more to incorporate all ingredients.Cook bacon to preference then roughly chop it. I shredded a rotisserie chicken to make it easier.Place soup in a bowl, top with shredded chicken and bacon and add a few drops of olive oil and hot sauce on top of the soup.I found the best way to eat it was to mix it all up in a bowl mash. Wonderful.
