I made this today and it was sooooo good! I used veggie stock and non dairy mozza cheese and it was super creamy and full of flavour! Great recipe!
Hi – just wanted to let you know that I made this today. Yummy!! My only challenge was that the head of cauliflower that I purchased was so big and resulted in the soup being so thick that I needed to water it down a bunch. That being said, I really enjoy the results and will make again.
I didn’t make this entire recipe but…OMG I am in love! I accidently left the cauliflower in the oven too long and it sort of charred a bit on the top. I just had a baby and I’ve learned to always eat when I have the opportunity to (otherwise it’s always cold), so since I was starving I thought I’d try a bite. Who knew that roasted cauliflower with a bit of olive oil, pepper, salt and garlic would be so delicious? It’s almost like a snack food for me! I can only imagine how this would taste in a soup. Next time! Thanks for sharing your recipe
This time of year is good for making home made soups and freezing! Once I get through my potatoes and two bushels of tomatoes……it’s soup time! Take advantage of the fall harvests and know what’s in your food. Sometimes you may find things cheaper but the truth is, when you take time to make things at home, there’s no preservatives and you can alter both the salt and sugar content to your liking….
I hope you like it, Reann!
Trying this tonight! I cant wait to make it!!!
sooo yummy, thanks!
Melissa – The only other cheese I have tried in it is white cheddar, it was also very yummy!
That soup looks absolutely delish! Have you tried other types of cheeses in it?
you will need to check with the store owner and see if they would allow this, as all SDM’s are individually owned.
soup looks great, but this is really not a soup related question.
I don’t have time to go and check my email before i go out tonight so thought i could post here and then read the answer later:)
I was at Shoppers Drug Mart last night and saw some hair colouring there on clearance for $2…..good sale, i have coupons for $3 for the product…can I use them even if the store does not apply the difference to the bill that is fine, but would love them for free.
thanks Cassie
will check back later for your words of wisdom:)
