HEAVY CREAM:

• This ingredient gives a strong texture to this soup by thickening and creamifying it. As an alternative, I often use high-fat coconut cream.

CAULIFLOWER:

• The cauliflower rice gives a texture and has a reduced-carb content. You can replace it with cabbage or broccoli florets, which also work for keto.

HERBS:

• They improve the taste and deliver an aromatic taste in this soup. Utilize the microgreens dried herbs instead for a strong and fresh flavor.

MUSHROOMS:
