I followed this recipe completely, until the end. I used a Chardonay wine, and a dash of salt and pepper. The wine seemed to overpower, the recipe needed more salt. I am always light with the salt, but even with the bacon, this soup seemed blah. At the end, I added an 8 oz package of shredded cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the soup seemed to redeem itself. I also think you could eliminate the cornstarch and butter, as the mashed cauliflower, thickened the soup nicely.
