"A thick, smooth soup. I usually only use the 1/2 tsp curry powder, but you can go up on that as you like."

Yum, this was so easy. I used fat-free half and half for the cream, and added more curry. I also made this without the cheese, because I am going to freeze and fridge some for later. We added our cheese upon reheating. Thanks a lot for a great recipe!

This is SOO easy to make and very yummy. I have made a cauliflower soup before but this one really has a different spin on it with the curry...MMMM Thanks Parsley

This soup was fantastic! It was actually my first attempt at making any kind of soup, and it went well according to the reviewers in my kitchen! Instructions were easy to follow, but I think the amount of time to make it is a little bit longer than posted (saute, simmering and melting cheese took a few minutes more). I used 2 celery stalks, 3 garlic cloves, vegetable broth, a whole teaspoon of curry powder, and milk instead of cream. Wonderful :)

Wow! This soup is absolutely delish. I love cauliflower soup and the gruyere cheese really adds such a great flavor. The only change I made was to make it more decadent by adding some bacon. Will be making this again very soon
