This Cauliflower Soup Is Low Carb & Keto Friendly

I have been making this Roasted Poblano Chicken Cauliflower Soup for the past few weeks on Sunday and eating it all week for lunch. It is seriously, SO GOOD.

The recipe originally came from my friend Kerri (you know her from her tuna salad). I made a few tweaks each time I made it, until I turned it into my new favorite low carb soup.

Even My Kids Love This Roasted Cauliflower Soup

My biggest change was adding a bunch of cauliflower. It doesn’t change the flavor of the soup a ton, but it gives us one more big serving of veggies and good old added fiber.

My girls gobble this soup up every time I make it. I always offer them some and they turn me down. Next thing I know, I am sitting down with my bowl for lunch and two little girls are climbing in my lap to eat it all.

It never fails, they want to eat what is on my plate not what is on theirs! Especially Ellie lately, she has to touch everything on our plates…even if she knows she doesn’t like it. It’s really fun at restaurants. Ha!

If you haven’t roasted poblano peppers before (and skinned them), make sure and check out the video below on how I do it. It’s easy, I promise!
