Low Carb Keto Chicken Soup with Cauliflower Rice

This recipe for low carb and Keto chicken soup with cauliflower rice is pure comfort food. And each bowl has just 5g net carbs.

Today is the fourth in a series of cold rainy days this week.

So I've been thinking about how good a bowl of chicken soup with rice would be.  It's like that old Maurice Sendak children's book.

"In January it's so nice while slipping on the sliding ice to sip hot chicken soup with rice."

Actual rice is out, of course, since I'm on a low carb diet.

But cauliflower rice is also quite nice.  It packs more vegetables into the meal.  And in this rich and creamy soup, you can barely notice the difference between the two.

This chicken soup is incredibly comforting.

It's a simple cream of chicken soup with leeks, onions and cauliflower rice.  The leeks and onions add a lovely oniony dimension to the soup and the heavy whipping cream makes it taste just wonderful.  I can't wait to dig in to my long awaited soup.

Finally, I'll be "sipping once, sipping twice, sipping chicken soup with rice.".
