Recipes like this Low Carb Bacon Cauliflower Soup are a great addition to any diet, but especially those looking to lose weight. This recipe is low in both fat and calories, but not nutrients or flavor! And we know that the key to food satisfaction is flavor! We also kept the recipe gluten-free and paleo for those following more restricted diets. You could easily make this recipe vegan by leaving out the bacon or substituting it with vegan bacon.

For those that just can’t live without carbs this pairs nicely with a big piece of crusty bread (not for paleo) or your favorite paleo friendly crackers, such as Jilz.
