I have to admit, I absolutely love grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup. It’s one of my favorite lunches and something that I’ve been hooked on since I was really young. The problem with that combination today is I just can’t allow myself that many carbs in one sitting.

Bread is filled with carbohydrates, something that we ladies often try to avoid, right? Well then, it’s a good thing that I found this cauliflower grilled cheese then. I can’t tell you how excited I was to be able to enjoy my grilled cheese and tomato soup without the guilt.

This is a great recipe, and it’s really easy to make, too. It took me less than an hour from start to finish, and that included preparing the cauliflower. The gist of the recipe is that you are making a grilled cheese with cauliflower “rice” instead of bread.

It’s really delicious and so much healthier than traditional grilled cheese. Speaking of health, you really need to try my crispy parmesan salmon recipe. It’s delicious and so very good for you.

I love trying new healthy recipes. I really love this one because it’s filled with delicious melty cheese and so easy to make. If you are looking for a healthy lunch or snack idea, here it is. Making the cauliflower bread is much easier than you may think, too.

You just boil your cauliflower until it’s soft on the outside and then mix your other ingredients, which include parsley, garlic, and olive oil, all of which give it a wonderful flavor. And speaking of wonderful flavor, you should make these baked avocado fries with jalapeno sauce to go along with your grilled cheese. They’re healthy, too!

The cauliflower in this cooks up so crispy and delicious. I just know it’s going to become your favorite grilled cheese sandwich. It certainly has become mine, and it really goes well with a steaming cup of tomato soup.
