This soup was fantastic! Almost restaurant style. The only alteration I made was using 1 cup of chicken broth vs. the water. I also added the salt (sea) and pepper with the boiling vegetables, and added dried parsley. Excellent recipe!

I too, made some changes, so the rating reflects the soup after I fiddled with it. I didn't use water or milk, but 1 and a half (or so) 946ml cartons of chicken stock. I chopped a whole head of cauliflower, 1 bunch celery hearts and 1 white onion, simmered them in a small pot with enough broth to cover until soft. Then I put it in the blender till smooth, in the meantime made a roux and added a carton of broth to it, then stirred in the pureed veggies. (I totally omitted the potatoes and carrots. )Then I added 1 cup shredded asiago and 1 cup shredded parmesean (no cheddar) and served it up with some fresh crusty bread. Delicious! The broth made it salty enough for us and the cheese kept it tart. It was very creamy and smooth, even without milk or cream. I should also mention that my husband hates veggies, but loved this soup.

Excellent! Actually this tasted a lot like a baked potato soup we love. I doubled the ingredients so we would have some leftovers. I subbed chicken broth for the water after reading reviews. I also sauteed the onion with some minced garlic in the butter, then added the flour to make the roux. I mashed the veggies with a potato masher, and combined everything without using a blender-the soup was a little chunky, the way we like it. I then added some cayenne pepper and cajun seasoning. The seasoning was perfect-just a little bite and enough salt.

This was pretty good. I made it exactly as written, and I actually wasn't that impressed with the soup the first bowl I had. I thought it was just okay and wasn't planning on making it again. Well, the next day I decided give it another try and reheat some while taking the advice of some of the other reviewers (to puree some or all of the soup). So I added a very small amount of milk to a hand blender to the soup and pureed it, and I liked it MUCH better this way. For some reason, it made a HUGE difference whether or not to leave it "chunky" or puree it.

I followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious. Basically, if you like vegetables with cheese sauce, that's what this is... I think this would be a very forgiving recipe where you could add many kinds of veggies and it would still be yummy.

I really liked this recipe as a starting point; after making it exactly as written I give it three stars. However, before eating it I tweaked it to push it up for five stars. Like some other reviewers, I found it bland. I added garlic powder, onion powder, a little cayenne pepper, and more cheese. I think it would be even better if one subbed a cup of chicken stock for one of the cups of milk, and threw some garlic in with the veggies.

I've never low rated a recipe before but this was very bland and tasteless, I think it may work better by omitting the carrot and potato, using more cauliflower, a little more celery and definitely onion, a cup less milk, a cup of chicken stock and a teaspoon of mustard powder! I'm a big fan of Cauliflower Cheese soup but this was nothing like it - sorry.

Following other reviews, I used chicken broth instead of water and I pureed the veggies in the blender before stirring them into the roux. Delicious, filling, not too fattening.

I don't care for soup much but this was awesome! It was like a thick chowder with very tender veggies. My changes: added chicken bouillon to the water; subbed sweet potato for regular potato; eliminated celery; used one cup lite soy milk and 2 cups lite vanilla soy milk. It was all I had on hand and never mind what it sounds like, it was delicious. Obviously a very adaptable recipe and definitely worth trying in whatever incarnation you care for.

As written this is a 3 star. As others have mentioned it needs some flavor. I tried making adjustments and it improved it remarkably. Instead of salt I used vegetarian bouillon cubes. I added some garlic and doubled the vegetables. I used skim milk and substituted olive oil for half the butter. I was trying to make this a bit healthier. With the changes it was a 4-5 star if you like creamy soups. In the end, I decided I am just not fond of creamy soups, so will not make this again. Others will likely enjoy it very much.

We liked the recipe, but it needs more flavor. I will try making it again and adding somethings for flavor. This purees very easy. Thanks.

this was easy -- but a bit plain for my tastes -- I had to zip up the taste with lots of herbs

Loved it! Since I was in the mood for green onions I added two...mmmm! I can see that this might be even better with double cauliflower and no potatoes. Every bite with cauliflower was a delight.

This was a great soup, I gave it 5 stars even though I made a few changes. Mostly healthwise, much less butter and less cheese. It was still wonderfully tasty. Thanks!

Excellent, creamy, tasty soup. My favorite comfort soup! I use celery salt instead of actual celery, since I never use celery if I buy it. Other than that I use the recipe as it's written. Super tasty on a cold day with a bit of home-baked bread!
