In a large pot, saute bacon until crisp. Remove bacon; set aside.
In the same pot with the bacon fat, add bay leaves, garlic and onions. Saute until the onions are softened, but not browned. Add cauliflower, potato and stock/broth to the pot. Bring to a boil; lower to a simmer. Cook until cauliflower and potatoes are soft, around 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
Remove bay leaves; blend soup in small batches in a blender, or use an immersion blender to blend the soup.
Add bacon to the soup; mix, while leaving a few bits for topping.
Serve hot, topped with bacon bits and a drizzle of olive oil and some chopped green onions.
