This was pretty good....but, seemed kind of bland. I missed having cheese with my cauliflower :). Next time I think I'd add some shredded cheese on top.

I didn't love this, but I have decided I'm not as big a fan of cauliflower as I thought. I also thought my onions/garlic burnt. I wish I had taken it out earlier. I had it for lunch today after adding a little bit of Velveeta/Rotel Dip. I liked it a lot better. Next time I will follow this recipe using a variety of veggies.

I really liked this soup. I mixed onion, carrots and potato with the cauliflour while roasting, I had to trick the household!! I was great!! I used milk instead of cream to cut down on calories. I will make this again

This was fabulous! I did make quite a few changes to the recipe. I substituted leeks for the shallots, used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth (to make it vegetarian) and used milk and a tablespoon of butter instead of cream. Just delicious.

This was OK. I love soups, but it just didn't do it for me. I noticed (after making it) that several of the reviewers who raved about it added other things (like carrots). Maybe that's the trick to making it better. I think I'll just stick to straight up roasted cauliflower and make soups out of other things.

I'm glad I tried this,it is a good soup. I made it pretty much as written, except I used 4 cups [32oz] chicken broth instead of 1 cup of water. I also used 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of fat free half and half.

Not too bad. Like other reviewers said it does not look at all appetizing but it tasted good. My family liked. Definately worth trying once but I don't think we all liked it enough for me to make it again.

This was good however I felt there was too much thyme I thought it over powered the flavor next time I will use less.

5 stars for simple excellence! I'm a big texture fan, so I will add more cauliflower next time to leave some good chunks in the soup. It needs to be blended as written to get the right consistency to it. Very good, thanks!

I used fat free half n half, reduced the thyme by half, and used an onion in place of the shallots as they are hard to find around here. The only problem with this soup is looks. It's not very eye-appealing, but it sure is good. Will be making again, thank you for sharing.

This is a really nice soup! I made a few changes, but the underlying idea was the same. I only had one head of cauliflower and had to use onion instead of shallots because my store didn't have shallots. I also used an entire bulb of garlic. I subbed 1% milk for cream to lighten it up and added a dash of crushed red pepper and a handful of shredded cheddar (i forgot to adjust the milk for less cauli and needed to thicken it up a bit). This is not the most visually appealing soup, but it tastes GREAT! I will reduce the thyme a little next time per personal preference.

This is a good soup. I used half and half and will try fat free half and half or fat free milk next time. The last time I made a Cauliflower soup it was way too "oniony," so I really liked that this one calls for shallots which gives it a much milder flavor. Make sure not to chop them too small so they don't burn while roasting.

I have made this a couple of times now b/c my BF has declared it his favourite soup (and I make A LOT of soup). Both times I only used one head of cauliflower, and added some combination of carrots, turnips, and potatoes - which is nice b/c then I can use up whatever is in the fridge. Both times I did add 4 cups of broth (no water) and no heavy cream, milk or any other substitute. The soup is already thick and rich enough in my opinion.

So, if anyone is wondering what this is like, as I did, think along the lines of a creamy potato soup. And even though I used half - n - half, and only a cup, it seemed very rich too me. To other posters who had problems with the garlic burning...just roast whole cloves instead of chopping them. They get blended up anyway. Good soup, different. Didn't knock my socks off though.
