Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup celery finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion finely chopped
  • 4 cups cauliflower riced
  • 8 cups chicken stock
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 4 cups chicken cooked and shredded
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp dill
  • 1/2 tsp glucomannan to thicken
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a stock pot over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, stirring until softened for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the cauliflower rice into the onion mixture until fully coated.
  • Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a rapid simmer for 5 -7 minutes. Take 1/2 cup of the hot stock and set aside in a pourable container. Turn down the heat to low on the stock pot.

Temper the eggs

  • In a separate bowl whisk the egg yolks until fully mixed and creamy. While still whisking the yolks, slowly pour the 1/2 cup of hot stock into the egg yolks. This brings the temperature up on the eggs without scrambling them.
  • Once the eggs have been tempered, add the tempered egg yolks back into the large stock pot.
  • Add the lemon juice, shredded chicken, and dill to the pot. Then, while using a whisk sprinkle in the glucomannan to the soup.
  • Simmer the soup and heat through until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Taste for seasoning to your desired taste with salt, pepper, and/or additional lemon juice.
  • Stir in the dill and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

Side note… You can certainly buy a whole head of cauliflower and use a box grater or food processor to “rice” the cauliflower into tiny nuggets the size and shape of rice. However, store bought “riced”cauliflower is readily available and relatively inexpensive.
