  • Reviews

  • “Simple to make and tastes great!”

  • “This has become my family’s favorite soup and I make it all the time. My three kids love it! I don’t care too much for dill, so I replace it with marjoram. In summer I use fresh herbs. Sometimes I add 4 pieces of chopped bacon because my hubby loves meat. And instead of the cream I’ve used whole milk or a can of fat free evaporated milk. Both are good. Great recipe!”

  • “This is great soup.I increased the soy sauce, but used a little less flour.Very rich and delicious soup – a hit with everyone at the table!”

  • “Great soup!I made a few changes to make it lighter, but it was still very good.Instead of cream and flour, I just added about 1 cup of unsweetened soy milk, about 2 tsp sugar.I also used about 3 TBS of tamari used half veg stock and half water.Otherwise I followed the ingredients and method as in the recipe.It makes a thick and satisfying soup.”

  • “Loved this soup! We all added shredded chedder cheese on top. Next time I may also add some bacon.”

  • “I used fresh dill, added a few other pinches of herbs, plus a bit of white wine – all good.It’s also worth noting that skipping the cream works if you are watching your weight – the soup is delicious either way.”

  • “Best cauliflower soup I have ever had. Loved the dill too :)”

  • “I loved the dill! Only had 3 bay leaves and no tamari soy sauce.Still turned out wonderful.Creamy, filling and delicious.”

  • “If I could give this 10 stars, I would! It was luscious! I used 1% milk instead of cream, and I blended the entire soup for extra creamy texture.”

  • “cut out the dill,othe than that it was great”

  • “Was a great soup.After the blending step, I added a can of white beans to the soup for the last 20-minute step.The beans added an extra flavor.Great winter soup.”

  • “A very nice soup and easy to make! Because of my daughter’s special dietry needs I used fresh herbs instead of dried, rice milk in place of the cream and I did not use the bay leaves or soy sauce. Also I did not need to use the flour. This soup is also a great way to get children to eat cauliflour, thanks for posting this!”
