This soup was easy to make and very delicious. I used frozen cauliflower and it turned out great. I also added a bit of extra cheese to the top. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better. I also think it would be good with some crumbled bacon on top.
