Crock Pot Cheesy Cauliflower Soup

There are a couple of things I love about this Crock Pot Cheesy Cauliflower Soup recipe– one it is so delicious, two it is so easy to make and three it is low carb.

For those of you who are thinking Oh no not another “low carb” recipe! I’m not on any weird low carb diet!

Even if you are not on a low carb diet you are going to love this Crock Pot Cheesy Cauliflower Soup recipe.

You’ve been eating Low Carb food and didn’t even know it!

The world loves to put a label things. Low Carb is a hot diet right now. It has actually been around a long time. And even though you are not on a low carb diet you have eaten plenty of low carb foods and because your not obsessed with counting carbs you had no idea.

Any creamy or cheesy soup recipe that does not have a starch in it like rice, potatoes, beans or noodles is low carb. That is just a small example of carbohydrates but you get the point.

Most of the recipes that I do share that are low carb I just don’t mention the low carb part. Sometimes I make a low carb recipe and I’ll plate it up on a bed of rice or noodles. But when I serve myself I just eat the chicken or beef without the carb filled noodles or rice.

Why do I do that? Because most of you are not eating low carb and if I wasn’t following a low carb diet I would eat it with the rice, noodles or potatoes.

If you are following a low carb diet and you decide to make my recipe I bet you leave out the rice, noodles or potatoes also.

Below is a small example of some of the crock pot recipes I have shared that are low carb. If you are on a low carb diet you will love them. If you are not on a low carb diet you will love them too!

Example of Low Carb Crock Pot Recipes

Crock Pot Cream of Chicken Soup
Crock Pot Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Crock Pot Creamy Ranch Chicken (omit the potato side dish for low carb)
Crock Pot Chicken Marsala (serve the chicken Marsala on the plate instead of on a bed of pasta for low carb)
Crock Pot Crustless Chicken Pot Pie (Atkins Crustless Chicken Pot Pie Copycat)

I love cauliflower. Even before I went low carb I ate cauliflower all the time. I love the way a creamy soup made with fresh cauliflower tastes. It is delicious. It is a somewhat healthy soup recipe if you are not watching your fat intake.

That is a whole nother can of worms if you are following a low fat diet.
