Cauliflower Cheese Soup
"This delicious version of soup makes a meal. We like to have it with a hot and crusty loaf of French Bread. I like to garnish it with buttery toasted homemade croutons for an extra special touch."

This was great!! I loved the flavor, this will now be my go-to cauli soup recipe. Mine came out uber thick... so I had to water down a bit with milk and broth. BUT, I know that was how I cooked the veggies. I think I let it go on too long and all the broth simmered down, and I think I did the same thing with the cheese sauce. Next time, I'll do it right! Thanks for sharing! -
Love this recipe. Easy to do if you can make a white roux sauce. Delicious, a favorite in our house!
