- Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the bell peppers and cauliflower rice are tender.
- Add Cheese:
- Stir in the shredded cheese until melted and well combined.
- Serve:
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired.
Tips:
- For a creamier soup, you can stir in a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk at the end.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
- Feel free to experiment with other keto-friendly vegetables or add some chopped spinach or kale for extra nutrients.
