Cauliflower rice - Pulse florets in a food processor until broken up into ‘rice’-sized bits. Cook rice in one of two ways: 1) Microwave for 4 to 5 minutes and then fold in butter (portion for cauliflower rice). Season with some salt and pepper; or 2) Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add butter (portion for cauliflower rice). Saute cauliflower in heated butter for ~5 minutes, until tender but still crunchy. Season to taste with some salt and pepper. Watch this video for the full how-to on cauliflower rice. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
Onions / Carrots - Prep as directed and combine. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
Make spice mix - Combine curry powder, garam masala, and turmeric. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
Chicken - Chop into bite-sized pieces. Tenderize with a fork and season lightly with some salt and pepper. (Can be done 1 day ahead)

Make

Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil and then chicken to heated oil. Saute until lightly brown and just cooked through. Set aside and return pan to heat.
Reduce heat to medium and add butter (portion for soup) to pan. When butter melts, add onions and carrots. Saute, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan, until soft, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add spice mix to vegetables and cook for 1 minute to lightly toast the spices.
Add chicken back to pan. Add stock, apples, and bay leaves. Bring soup to a simmer.
Simmer for 20 minutes to let flavors come together. (If the soup starts to boil, reduce the heat.)
Stir coconut milk and cauliflower rice into soup and simmer for 1 minute to heat through.
Taste and season soup with some salt and pepper. Discard bay leaves.
Serve soup with some hot sauce if you’d like. Enjoy!
