Great recipe! I did make a few changes which greatly enhanced the flavour of this soup. I used fat free half and half in place of the milk. I added 1/2 tsp. dried thyme and 1/2 tsp. dried basil. I added about 1/4 tsp white pepper and a smidgie of msg. This went together so quickly I will be using this recipe often. Thanks for a super recipe.

Full of flavor & so filling - a good soup to have for dinner when you're trying to eat on the light side. I used onion, not leeks, and tried to cut down on the butter just a bit. I also threw in one beef cube, which I do with most soups that are chicken broth based. This was a cooking tip from my very wise European grandmother, who has been gone many years, sadly. I used a potato masher, which left some nice chunks of cauliflower.

Very enjoy soup. You get a good amount from not a lot of ingredients and the cauliflower flavor is really nice. I used skim milk and that cut the fat content some and as I made a 3 serving amount (but I'll get 4 and maybe 5) I don't think that 1/4 cup of butter split into that many servings is at all horrible. Thank you Axe for a lovely soup that will be great all year round. I think this would be good cold too!

Made this soup tonight and it is DELICIOUS. I tweaked it just a bit: I added three tender, finely,diced celery stalks, 3 toes of garlic, and a tsp of yellow curry to the minced onion while it was simmering. Also added 5 sprigs of fresh thyme. Then poured in the chicken broth, added the cauliflower and followed the recipe. Also added a handful of shaved parmesan to the white sauce while whisking. Tasted terrific!
