This lush and creamy soup gets it’s rich texture from a combo of coconut milk and pureed cauliflower. It’s loaded with herbs, and bulked up with tender shredded chicken.
If you have leftover chicken, this is a great use for it.
It’s a filling lunch that is low in carbs and high in protein, but has the added bonus of being delicious.
It’s like the comforting cream of chicken soup you remember from you childhood, but way better and way healthier!
