Keto Chicken Rice Soup. It probably goes without saying that this soup has NO rice in it but…it does have cauliflower rice. I don’t normally do too many soup recipes without heavy cream in them and this no exception. Not only does it add extra fat, it just plain tastes better and can easily end up as a soup for dinner rather than something light before eating. I love soups and one of things I like is how very easy they are to make, keto chicken rice soup is no exception, and it should come together quickly. I made this with ½ a roasted chicken (what I called Jekyll & Hyde) and also retained about ½ the schmaltz (fat rendered from chicken) to smear all over my chicken and to put into the soup. I don’t much care for dried out old chicken so, at least for me, the fat helps, let alone the rich flavors it adds. If you can get your hands on a RossDown Chicken it is the best I have ever eaten. It’s a Canadian product and I have found it in several Halal and Middle Eastern markets here in Portland.
