  1. My first attempt at cauliflower soup and I most pleased! I had to use up half a head of cauliflower so I made your soup but for 4 servings. It is delicious and didn't change anything. I'm just not too sure about the paprika and will make it without it the next time. Thanks for sharing an easy and tasty soup!!
     
  2. A home run! I made this recipe without potato (didn't have on hand) and without the paprika. I also served it with bacon cheese toasts (cut good artisan bread pile bacon pieces on bread and top with Monterrey Jack cheese; broil till cheese is bubbly.) It was so tasty. Wow! Great recipe. A keeper.
     
  3. This is delicious without any cream, and even better with. :-) I added a diced leek with the onions and used my stick blender to puree--I was not opposed to having some texture, but it turned out perfectly smooth. I love the nutmeg and paprika flavorings.
     
  4. Awesome cauliflower soup! I made this as written. I had a big head of cauliflower. I think if using a small cauliflower, the stock amount she be a little less. It may seem that the nutmeg and paprika amounts are a bit much, but it really works without being overpowering. Great soup that I'll make again. Thanx!
     
  5. Thank you for a lovely recipe. I also fed it to 'non-cauliflower' people and it was pronounced a great success! I substituted low fat evaporated milk instead of the double cream and I used a spray of olive oil instead of the butter. This took the fat and cholesterol down substantially and I honestly believe the taste is not affected. Why don't you try my similar Curried Broccoli Soup recipe #246304. Thanks again, Scott
