5. Add the apple, pear, thyme, allspice, and nutmeg. Cook while stirring frequently for 7 minutes.

6. Add chicken broth, bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook covered, until cauliflower, apples, and pears are are tender.

7. Use an immersion blender or blender to process soup to smooth consistency. Stir in the coconut milk, salt, and white pepper to taste.

8. Serve with the bacon bits and chives sprinkled on top.
