     I used vegetable stock instead of chicken. I left out the bacon and diced up a couple of ribs of celery. It was delicious! - 4/28/12

     This can easily become low carb, by using cream instead of the milk, and spring (green) onions instead of regular ones.
    And adding a dash of nutmeg brings out the taste as well! YUMMM - 4/20/12

     I don't eat bacon, as I am a Muslim. I made the same recipe with lamb mince and it came out tasting great! - 1/26/12

     I used green onions instead of regular onions, almond milk instead of dairy milk and omitted the bacon. For diabetic reasons I added cinnamon. Mmmmm.... good! Thanks for this recipe, I will use it often. - 4/20/12

     Does the nutritional info take into acount th fact that you are not draining the bacon grease out? I wonder how much that affects things since 2 slices of bacon in the tracker assumes just the crispy part... - 1/28/13

     A-mazing! I didn't have evaporated milk. I was going to use a bit of 1% milk but the soup is simply amazing even without it. It is creamy enough without any butter, cheese, or milk. Thanks for this recipe - I will be making it again. - 2/9/12

     This is a GREAT recipe for cauliflower soup AND it's very versatile, as I see others have already made some changes with success. I could see myself adding some grated carrots and other veggies next time I make it. AND I also added chives on top - GREAT flavor mix!! - 5/17/12

     I added shredded cheddar to give this lovely soup more flavour. - 4/20/12

     This has been one of my "go to" soup recipes for several years. You can easily substitute brocolli for cauliflower and it is equally good. - 11/17/12
