  1. This is a very nice, fresh tasting summer soup. I reduced the sugar by half (thought it would be easier to add more if needed rather than having something that's too sweet for my family's taste) and using butter in place of the margarine. The grocery store's cauliflower didn't look very fresh so I ended up using frozen cauliflower/broccoli mix and I didn't peel the potatoes since the skins were young and tender. The parsley used was fresh from my garden. I felt the soup needed a little something to bring it up to 5 stars, maybe some freshly ground pepper and/or some nutmeg. Made for ZWT6.
