     excellent. I used low sodium chicken broth and cut up 2 chicken breasts instead of the legs, with 1 tsp of garlic this was great. - 10/24/08

     I would leave out the potatoes, as the cauliflower when cooked and mashed up will taste just like mashed potaoes. Yummy and low fat! - 12/30/08

     I have made this without the potatoes which lowers the cals and carbs greatly and does not effect the taste of this yummy soup. - 4/8/09

     Rather than chicken legs - chicken breasts is a better choice of meat = lower fat grams - 4/7/09

     I made this today. I added Italian Seasoning and Turmeric because it is so healthy. Tastes great. I will add the sour cream and flour tomorrow when I reheat it for dinner. - 8/19/08

     My family loved this. I also used chicken breasts instead of legs and chicken broth (low salt) instead of water. I also added onion and garlic. - 4/7/10

     I used chicken broth in lieu of water and left out the chicken entirely. It was still GREAT and my husband, who is not a soup guy, even said it was good. - 8/25/09

     Very good, and more filling than it looks. It was a little bland so I added a bit more pepper sprinkled on top. We had just this soup for supper and it was more than enough! - 3/18/09

     I liked it well enough the first time; the second time I made it with some baking potatoes so it came out with more of a potato soup texture. Tasted awesome! - 8/14/08

     Sounds excellent, I've been looking for a good cauliflower soup recipe for a while. I'll replace the salt with Mrs. Dash and save almost 400 mg sodium per serving, and it's a great base so my second time I may add some fresh or frozen veggies for color.
    Thanks. - 4/11/09

     simple to make and needs no time at all to prepare even for lazy cooks like myself - 8/14/08
  • LYOUNG02
     The water does not seem proportionate to all that cauliflower. A whole head? Also, I think I would use broth next time as some of the others have done. It is quite bland. But after making a few adjustments, we enjoyed this soup! - 11/13/09
  • NURSETERRY2

     I made this with unsalted chicken stock, bay leaves, garlic, and onions. It was still very bland. My advice is to add a tsp of curry to it. Curry and cauliflower go marvelously together. I add it to all of my cauliflower recipes. - 5/20/13

  • TRICOTINE
     No chicken for me. I think I would replace with corn and kidney beans. Also, I would skip the salt. Thanks for sharing this recipe! :-) - 12/30/08

  • EVER-HOPEFUL
     brilliant with a little bit of low fat grated cheese on top gives it a taste of a luxury.my mouth is watering just to think about it. - 4/7/09

     Fixed this today. I only added 2 chicken Legs. I boiled them in a separate pot. Used the chicken broth in place of the water. I didn't need to thicken with flour because I used my emulsifier. I added salt pepper and a little dill weed and it was perfect. - 11/2/17
  • TINAKANTOR
     Very good. I used 2 cans chicken broth. 1/2 c of the sour cream & 1/2 cup milk (didn't have enough sour cream). I also used chicken breast. I roughly mashed it and stirred in the sour cream mixture. I also topped with Colby jack cheese. I used thyme, poultry seasoning and bay leaves. - 2/5/17

     This recipe does say the size of a serving. I didn't include the potatoes. Used 2 c. Chicken broth and 2 c. H2o. Also used rotissore chicken. It was delicious!! - 1/13/17
