I have to be honest and say that I am not a fan of cauliflower. I do not care for the way that it smells while it cooks and I definitely do not like the way it tastes by itself. In our journey of eating healthier, I have learned to make cauliflower in a way that our entire family enjoys.
Covered in delicious whole food ingredients like cream cheese, heavy cream, sour cream, and cheese, it is easy to make cauliflower taste delightful. One of my family’s favorite recipes is loaded cauliflower casserole. It is so well-loved that I am often asked to bring it to large family meal gatherings.
I recently decided to try and make a creamy riced cauliflower soup with chicken recipe and it was so good, that I knew I had to share it here on the blog. In fact, it was so good that several of the children went back for seconds and when that happens, I know I have a fantastic recipe!

However, I try to find and link replicas as much as possible, made in the USA or by other small shops, as I believe in supporting hardworking American families.
I make this creamy cauliflower soup recipe by sautéing the vegetables, cauliflower rice, and seasoning in a large cast-iron skillet. Then, I use either a large dutch oven or a large pot to finish making the chicken and cauliflower rice soup.
This recipe makes a big batch of chicken cauliflower rice soup as I enjoy having leftovers for the next day. If you are cooking for a small family, you may want to cut the recipe in half.
Riced Cauliflower Soup With Chicken Ingredients
- Frozen Riced Cauliflower: Allow the cauliflower to thaw at room temperature before cooking.
- Frozen Seasoning Mix: I like using this when I do not have the time to chop the onions, carrots and celery. I buy this is in the frozen section and it has onions, carrots, celery, red and green bell peppers.
- Butter: I use real butter, not margarine.
- Garlic: Freshly minced or dried minced is fine – I only use organic garlic
- Chicken Bone Broth: I like to make my own or use store bought organic chicken bone broth. If you do not have chicken bone broth, you can use chicken stock.
- Thyme, marjoram, sage and rosemary: I use organic dried herbs and seasonings
- Salt and pepper: Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Chicken: I use a whole chicken that I shred but chicken breasts or even a rotisserie chicken will work.
- Cream Cheese: This helps make the soup delicious and creamy.
- Cream: Can use half and half but I love using real organic cream.
