It has been so cold in Reno lately, I keep turning the heat up in our house. I think we started winter at 68 degrees and right now both upstairs and downstairs are at 72 degrees. The problem is that it’s STILL cold in the house! Also, isn’t 72 the recommended temperature where most people are happiest? I am not sure I am happy when I’m cold all the time inside my house. Anyone else with me?
Anyways, to the whole 30, paleo friendly slow cooker chicken soup! This recipe is SUPER easy! It is packed with cauliflower rice and other veggies! Below I recommend sautéing everything in a pan first before putting into the slow cooker. However, if you are pressed for time, throw it into the slow cooker and it will turn out great! Enjoy during those cold nights after a long day at work (or last minute Christmas shopping)!
