    I should have covered the cauliflower in the oven with foil as it got too dark before it was soft. Other than that, excellent recipe! - 10/27/10

    Very good. Didn't have a blender, so I used my food processor. My kids really liked it, too! - 10/13/10

    This is a really good soup, I did have to add more broth and milk as mine was very thick. I used 1 can of condensed 2% milk which gave it the really creamy taste with out the high fat content. I am going to try this with broccoli. - 2/3/08

    Really good. I roasted a small onion with the cauliflower as another posted suggested. I also added evaporated milk in place of the half and half since that's what I had on hand and added 1 T of Hormel bacon pieces. Delish! - 3/28/15

    I loved this soup! Watch cauliflower so it doesn't burn. A bit too thick to puree well, so next time I will add more milk or broth. I substituted half of the half and half with skim milk. It still tasted great and only 262 calories. A serving is 1 cup. - 1/26/14
