Cauliflower Chowder With Bacon

Nothing beats a warm meal on a cold day! Unfortunately, many hot meals can be packed with carbs. This piping hot Low Carb Cauliflower Chowder with Bacon is both creamy and delicious. Plus it’s low in unwanted carbohydrates!

Unlike some traditional soups that have high carb ingredients, this chowder will keep you in line with your keto goals.

Cauliflower is one of my favourite low carb substitutes for potatoes. Seriously, don’t overlook the power of using a cauliflower substitute to amp up this soup into a hearty meal.

Not only is this soup totally filling, it’s also packed with flavour. Topped with crunchy bacon bits and some shredded cheddar cheese, this easy to make soup will quickly become an instant classic.
