This classic Italian soup is traditionally made with leafy greens, white beans, and potatoes in a savory broth with a little bit of spice. To make a low carb version, we replaced the white beans and potatoes with fresh cauliflower. Greek yogurt adds creaminess to the broth, and chicken adds extra protein. Add a side of Cauliflower Garlic “Bread” Sticks for a satisfying low carb meal.
