mmmm i love cauliflower--i could exchange it more any meats!
Hmmm, I just so happen to have some cauliflower in the fridge right now. Sounds like a plan for tonight's dinner. Thanks!
So are you going to bind all these posts together into a soup cookbook? : )
LYNN PROCTOR: Yes, cauliflower is that good. Also goes good with cashews.
SUSAN FLETT SWIDERSKI: Once you see how quick 'n easy it is to prepare this, you will make it often. Enjoy.
JOYCE: I don't know. Am not very savvy with computers and most of my writing contacts are technical, not food related.
I do appreciate how you think that much of these soups though. Thank You.
I love cauliflower. Turning it into soup sounds like a great idea.

Mmm, creamy cauliflower. And in my house, quick is definitely good. Another fine addition.
(Of the soups I missed in my absence, the kale & white bean sounds especially good. With some cold rainy days coming next week, it'll be a fine time to try out some of these recipes.)
This soup looks good. I think I might get hubby to try it if I added some crumbled bacon on it for a garnish. Or maybe some shredded ham or cheese in it.
The shredded ham and cheese on top sounds really, really good. I love cauliflower. My daughter mashes it with salt, pepper and butter and serves it like potatoes..
You should def think about turning these posts into a cook book.
THE GOLDEN EAGLE: I agree, it does make a fine soup.
NATE WILSON: Thank You, your taste is impeccable.
SUSANNE DRAZIC: Crumpled bacon or ham with cheese is an excellent idea. One time I made this soup and grated asiago into the pot. But I wanted to keep it simple as possible here. Thanks for your brilliant suggestion.
DOREEN MCGETTIGAN: We often puree cauliflower with a little garlic and cheese as a mashed potato substitute.
Your daughter, like you, is obviously a great thinker.
