For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth. Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese at the end for extra richness (if not adhering to a strict paleo diet). Don't overcrowd the pot while cooking the cauliflower rice. If necessary, cook in batches to ensure even cooking and prevent steaming.
