Tips and Techniques
- Fresh cauliflower works best. You can often find pre-riced cauliflower in the produce department at the grocery store. Frozen cauliflower can be use, if needed, but fresh is always best.
- Grate the cheese from a block rather than buying prepackaged shredded cheese for best results.
- You can swap out the chicken bone broth for chicken stock or vegetable stock to make this recipe vegetarian. Just be aware that this will likely increase the total carbs slightly.
- Store extra soup in air-tight containers in the refrigerator and use within 3-4 days. You can also freeze the soup in air-tight containers and use with 2-3 months for best results.
