Chicken and Cauliflower Rice Soup

Low Cal and Low Carb Lunch – 239 Calories 14g Carbs

Chicken and Cauliflower Rice Soup. Low-calorie low-carb lunch meal for the bone broth diet. This soup was surprisingly delicious, but maybe just a little too sweet for my tasting. The next time I make it I’m only going to add 1/2 can of the unsweetened Coconut Milk. The soup is made with onion, cauliflower, celery, carrots, chicken bone broth, coconut milk, a splash of Ghee, and flavorful herbs – 239 calories and 14g carbs. Yummy !!
