Introduction

This is a fantastic way to sneak veggies into your kids. I HATE cauliflower and cabbage and I love this soup. Very little prep time, 4 ingredients, and <1 gm of fat.

    I halved the recipe since I'm the only one who likes cauliflower in my family. I sauteed my cabbage first in some sesame oil (about 2 tsp) to give a roasted flavor to it. I also threw in 3 cloves garlic and fresh ginger (1 tbsp) while it was simmering. I left out the blue cheese. It was quite good. - 1/26/09

    Your tweaks sound yummy. Because it is easiest for me to use a whole head of cabbage & cauliflower, I just freeze the remaining soup. It lasts several months in the freezer in a good quality container.

    Loved this soup! I rarely make a recipe without changing something, but I'm sure glad I didn't on this one. I used my homemade chicken broth and one wedge of Laughing Cow blue cheese. Pureed up so smooth and delicious, will be making this many, many more times. Thank you for sharing. - 2/11/11

    I LOVE soups, and this is a new fave. I added too much pepper (I took the "lots!" too literally I guess) & I forgot the roasted red pepper, but this was delicious. I'm looking forward to getting hungry again so I can have some more! p.s. I think it would still be great w/o the blue cheese! - 1/15/09

    I have taken to making it without the blue cheese to save money. Also, my daughter likes it better w/o the cheese. Thanks for the review; glad you liked it.

    This soup is absolutely AMAZING. It has a creamy mouth-feel, and is such a light flavor that I can see it being the "cream" base for many different soups (healthy clam chowder, anyone?) The second day, I added some steamed sweet potato and nutmeg (yummmmm-o!) - 11/19/10

    Fabulous! I made this for Christmas Dinner and my guests have all asked for the recipe! (It's a hard decision--do I let them know how easy and healthy it is? Or let them think I slaved for hours over an indugence?) Good with Asiago instead of blue cheese too! - 12/30/09
