“This is such a rich dish, you don’t need to serve a lot with it. For a simple garnish instead of the bacon, I add a drop of hot sauce to the top and drag a butter knife through it.” Mildred Caruso - Brighton, Tennessee

When I first printed out this recipe it was a 5 star. That is why I thought I would make it. Now it has much lower stars.This is soooo nasty. My dog would not even eat it. I tried to add more ingredients etc, then I thought, why waste ingredients to try and improve. There is no improving it

This soup is very bland. I had to use 3/4 cup of asiago, more salt, hot sauce and the bacon. Maybe it needs heavy cream and something else. I wouldn't make it again. Too much money on cauliflower and asiago cheese to use in the soup.

I would only make this recipe again using the other reviewer's ideas. When I saw this had 100% would make again rating (even though there was only one review) I thought I would give it a try since it seemed so simple. This time simple = bland. Definately chicken stock, no nutmeg (that is meant for squash/carrot soups), and herbs for sure. Bacon did lend a little flavor only because I cooked 1/2 package and mixed it right in. Regardless, it was soothing to have after work and was fast to make which was a bonus. Now just have to stream line the additional steps and it should turn out much better.

It looks like I'm in the minority here but I really enjoyed this. I used a little less half & half, some chicken broth, and a bit of extra seasoning.

A waste of ingredients as far as I am concerned. Too rich, not really creamy, and needed more cheese just to be edible.

Not sure what I did wrong, but this recipe just did not work for us at all. Very bland & tasteless, but the texture was not appealing, although I followed the directions carefully. All other recipes I've tried have been wonderful... unfortunately this one was a flop.

I love any soup made with cauliflower, so of course this caught my eye. I also liked the idea of using a drop or two of hot sauce on the top, so I tried it, delicious, then I added the bacon on top of that with a few green onion tops for color... WOW! My family loved it. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. This is definetly a keeper.

As it stands this is how I can rate this recipe. It implies that there will actually be a flavor of bacon. It's use here is nothing more than a garnish like you would use parsley. I make a similar soup but saute the bacon with onions and celery then add chopped cauliflower, not florets. It's easier to puree. Just sweat the stuff. If you want to brown it that's your choice (makes it sweeter). Add 2 cups chicken broth and 1/2 cup heavy cream (or fat content of your choice). Bring to a simmer and cook to mush then puree. Seasonings are your choice but as I despise nutmeg I won't use it. I use salt, pepper and a touch of dried thyme. Using Asiago cheese is a very good idea. It brings an additional depth to the flavors. Overall a good idea but lacking in the final product. As the recipe stands i wouldn't make it again. Too many dishes to wash and too bland
