Cauliflower an carrots share the stage in this cheesy soup that's sure to warm you up on the chilliest nights. We like it with hot pepper sauce; however, it can be omitted with equally tasty results. —Debbie Ohlhausen Chilliwack, British Columbia

The girls all asked for seconds. Great way to get the veges in. The base of the soup was great. We sauted all the vegetables and added onion, a yellow pepper, doubled the celery, parsley, seasoning salt. The girls recommended blending half and leaving half chucky. Would definetly make again.

This is a favorite of ours. I do add a chopped onion, just because we like it, and if I'm in a rush, I just chop the carrot.

Easy to make, very filling and VERY good. The place to indicate the # of stars wasn't available, but I would give it 5 stars.

I used fat free chicken broth, fat free cheddar cheese and fat free milk, it was still fantastic!!!!

This is literally the best soup recipe I've ever made. I keep making it, freezing it, remaking it... I'm a big fan of onions so I choose to caramelize some onions in the main pan to add a little more of a flavor layer, but it's great with or without it. MAKE THIS SOUP!

I've just recently begun to cook, and even the simplest things seem overwhelming for me. This soup, however, was as simple as can be, and turned out to be delicious! I made it for my family, and got some compliments (even the four-year-old ate it)!

My husband is not a fan of cauliflower but this recipe got a thumbs up from him. For a little added protein, I am going to add chicken. He wants a touch of cayenne. I plan to do both. Loved this soup!

Both my husband and I loved this recipe. I did add Smoked Paprika and a little more chicken broth. Also, I used goats milk and part skim part skim Mozzarella cheese as thats what I had on hand.

Made this recipe for the first time tonight, turned out great, I did use chicken broth instead of bullion and water and blended the veggies up before adding the cheese sauce. My picky 1 and 3 year olds devoured it, will be making it again.
