A low carb soup I think you will find tasty and filling. I am a soup lover, could eat it everyday. But, some soups just are not low carb friendly. I think this will work for those on low carb diets. And, you can always use potatoes in place of cauliflower if you are not low carbing. However, I find that I'm becoming quite fond of cauliflower! Hope you enjoy!
