Cream of Cauliflower Soup II image

I make lots of cream soups and this is a good 'basic' recipe. I originally made this in 1990 and always make some modifications - we like lots of garlic as reflected in this recipe!! I also add or substitute other vegetables, i.e., broccoli and spinach. I also use potatoes for thickening rather than cream to keep the fat down.

Not a fan. The soup was bland and the texture was off.

Easy to make and so tasty! I used frozen cauliflower and it turned out great. I also added some chopped bacon and it was a hit with my family. Will definitely make again.

This soup is incredibly creamy and flavorful. The cauliflower is cooked perfectly and the spices are well-balanced. I added a bit of extra cheese and it was even more delicious. Definitely a keeper!
