This is a delicious creamy soup which makes a really nice lunch all on it's own or with a sandwich or salad. I did add additional salt, pepper and a dash (or two) of cayenne. Will definitely make again and will always remember "Pammy" when I make it. Made for Pammyowl's Cook-A-Thon, November, 2013.

I really enjoy cauliflower, and this was a very easy soup to put together. I followed the directions exactly, but didn't see where there was another cup of water to add, so I just added the chicken stock and milk. I garnished with nutmeg and enjoyed a delightful lunch. Thanks for sharing! Made for the Pammyowl Cookathon.

We are in cauliflower season right now and what better recipe to try! I didn't add the optional ingredients, but I did add 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese and the last 2 potatoes I had in the bottom of the cupboard (peeled and chopped small). Served with fresh crusty bread. I think almost any left over veggies would be great in this (carrots, celery, sweet potato, broccoli, and even corn). Thanks for posting, this is a winner!
