The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.03 star rating.
Reviewed: Jul. 23, 2008
This soup was very healing for me. The only changes I made were: used one veggie broth cube, flavored the cauliflower with my home made salt (lemon juice and zest,garlic,oregano,rosemary blended in hawaiian rock salt then dried in warm oven). I pencil shaved the carrots, cooked them separate and added after puree with immersion blender. I wanted to share it with everyone I know so put some in the freezer for later. Will make a double batch next time. I see that it is a good base for creative cooks to add their own flare.

This was great! I used just about 5 cups water, and the consistency was perfect. I sauteed a shallot w/the garlic, and left out the carrot and parsley, since I did not have any. We added grated cheddar to each serving.

Pretty bland even though I used chicken broth instead of water. After I added some mango chicken sausage, it was decent.

It seemed more of a great broth than a soup. I added 1 cup of cream, and 2 cups of bacon to give it more consistancy. Tastes great... just not a very "thick" soup.

this is a great soup, i tried it with a cup of soy milk, but i think that's what made it not as good as it could have been. otherwise, i love the fact that the soup was CREAMY without milk. i boiled the cauliflower and the other vegetables all together. i removed the cauliflower, pureed it, then i just added it back to the rest of the pot. (drain out a bit of water, tad bit). the water you used to boil with has a nice flavor to it, and adding it with the pureed cauliflower makes it taste good.

I love that this soup is so filling and very calorie friendly! I wouldn't change a thing. I'll stick with the recipe as is...I only added a 1/4 tsp. of Thyme, perfect! Cooked and pureed carrots together. Pureed in blender adding soup water as I went to achieve my desired consistancy. So low cal/fat that you can top your cup with cheddar cheese...YUM!

I agree with most of the other reviews. Use less water, add some veggie boullion and feel free to add more seasonings: I added summer savory and celery and also put in some powdered milk when blending for extra protein and creaminess.

Made exactly as printed but added mixed vegetables. Soup had no favor and looked terrible. I had one bowl as I took it for my lunch. My husband had one taste. This one went down the drain. Not worth doctoring up and trying again.

Yummy! The nutmeg is key so don't leave out. With a hand blender, it was a breeze to make.

Great way to use up leftover broccoli stems! I sauted 2 minced garlic cloves in 2 T butter, added the nutmeg and 1/2 t salt. Chopped the broccoli, cauliflower and carrot and put in pressure cooker for 10 minutes w/ the garlic, 4 1/2 c water and 1 cube vegi bouillon. Even my 4 and 6 hear olds had seconds! Beware using stems; they must be well peeled or will need to use a blender instead of a Braun. DELICIOUS!!!

Yum! I have made this twice and the second time omitted the parsley (I thought it was a bit too strong with it). Top it off with a bit of cheese and serve with a salad and some bread and you have yourself a very nice winter meal :)

Yum! I used less water and pureed the carrots along with the cauliflower, and it couldn't be any better.

Excellent soup - I was quite bored of the regular soups I've been making recently - this was quick and easy with a few minor adjustments. I had no nutmeg (I'm going to try it next time with it) I sauteed the onion first then added the garlic - I used 1 bag of frozen cauliflower and 1 bag frozen broccoli - I didn't do the carrot separately - I just tossed it in and pureed it together with the soup. The soup was creamy and real smooth. Water works just fine - I found I didn't need to add milk or chicken stock the flavor and texture came out great! (My husband took seconds)

Damn good! As an avid cooker I can highly recommend this to anybody! What I changed a bit: I used good chicken stock (Knorr brand is the best!) instead of water and I also added Cayenne pepper like some other reviewer suggested - only if you like spicy. A permanent recipe in my collection. You can serve this with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese and a drop of half-and half for presentation.
