loved this easy and delicious soup but followed the exact directions for the parmesan crisps and they still stick to the foil after they have cooled for the 5 minutes! they were all crumbly and it would have been much better to use parchmaent paper I am sure.

I just made this soup and it came out great. I added a little cream to it at the end and I topped the bowls with crumbled bacon and green onions. I used homemade stock and everything else was according to the recipe. I made the parmesan crisps and it looked elegant when I put the shards into the bowls. This is the best cauliflower soup I have ever made.

I only used 1/4 head cauliflower, 1 stalk broccoli, 4 small potatoes, added Emerill's Essence, chives, milk & heavy cream and 2 tbsp. corn starch thinned with water to thicken it. I kept the veggies bite size and didn't puree it.

A few days earlier, I had baked 1/2 a chicken in a heavy kettle, with onions & garlic in some water. That is what I used for stock. Canned or boxed stock will not compare with homemade and it doesn't have the MSG or MSG look a likes.

Since we are empty nesters, I cut down on the quantity. Since my husband doesn't care too much for cauliflower, I needed the potatoes to camouflage the taste. I grated some Romano cheese into the soup and fixed the crisps also out of Romano since I didn't have Parmesan.

Just keep tasting it until you get it right. It was good doctored up.

This soup was incredibly quick/easy to make and EXCELLENT. It is smooth, creamy, and delicious. I used 99% fat-free chicken broth and only 1/4 cup of parmesan-- it was still incredibly delicious and filling. It is definitely going on my list of favorite soups!

this is a simple, subtle and light recipe- you aren't eating french onion soup here!
For folks who want more depth of flavor try roasting the cauliflower and/or garlic first. I used my hand blender and the smooth texture was great but next time i will leave a few more cauliflower chunks to make it more rustic:

(and i second the idea of dropping a little parsley in it a the end to brighten things up

Cauli is not my fav. But I, my wife and boys all thought it outstanding. And super easy and consistent. What more can you ask for?

This was a total bomb. No flavor. Nothing robust or comforting. It was just terrible. Very disappointing, and I was glad I didn't make it for guests.

This was so easy to make. I altered the recipe only slightly,since I didn't have any parm on hand. I used colby jack instead,The next time,I'm goin to make sure I have the parmesan on hand. I also used a couple pinches of celery salt,and a little parsley for some subtle back notes,which this soup probably didn't need if I had some good parm on hand.
